Can we please just take a moment to reflect on the fact that
it is officially the Christmas / Holiday season? Take a deep breath in through the nose; you
can almost smell the baked goods and Christmas cheer. Okay, the cheer is a very faint smell. You may not actually be able to smell
cheer. But the baked goods! You can totally almost smell baked goods.

This is one of my big cliché things, I just love
Christmastime. I like decorating. I get a freakish high from finding the
perfect gifts for people. The music
makes me smile. I love the festive
food. I donate to the bell ringers at
the grocery store. I’m tempted to smell
pine even though it destroys my sinuses.
I’ll watch Elf, How the Grinch Stole Christmas, and The Santa Clause at
least once apiece, likely more. I will
go to Christmas Eve service with my grandma and wear one of her funny Christmas
sweaters for the occasion. And since I’m
no longer in school, and I don’t really have plans for Christmas day because I
suddenly got old and my whole family won’t be in town on that day so we moved
it to a different day, this year I will finally sit down and read all of
Charles Dickens’ A Christmas Carol on Christmas!
Frankly, I could not be more excited about that last thing. It’s something I’ve wanted to do for years
but I always have felt like I was too busy or had too much to do.
That’s really all I’ve got, I just needed to share my yuletide
joy with the world.
