Christmas is upon us. Can you believe it? In fact, I bet most of the crumb snatchers in the U.S. have opened all their gifts by now. I love Christmas! Thanksgiving is still tops as far as my favorite holiday, but Christmas is a quasi-close second. What do you guys love about the season? Actually...what do you hate about it? We'll start with hate and end in love.
Hatin':
1. Christmas traffic (the Summit has been hell).
2. Eggnog (what is this stuff?!?!).
3. The day after, because that week post Christmas until New Year's is just damn weird.
4. People who feel the need to say, "Happy Holidays."
5. Takin' down the tree.
6. Christmas traffic (280 has been hell).
7. Carolers.
8. Shopping.
9. The Nobody State vs. Who Cares Tech bowl games.
10. Christmas traffic (merging onto 65 has been hell).
Lovin':
1. Christmas music (hymns, cantatas, Bing Crosby...I love it all).
2. Watching Elf, Christmas Vacation, Family Man, Christmas Story, etc.
3. Spending time with family.
4. Giving gifts.
5. Settin' up the tree.
6. Fresh Christmas tree scent (no cheap candle imitations here).
7. Nativity scenes.
8. Shopping.
9. Done up Griswold lights (amazingly awesome).
10. Hot cocoa.
What do yous guys think? Are you hatin' this year? Lovin' this year? Whateva (best Liam Lynch impression), Merry Christmas and Happy Hanukkah.

crap, Kent! You got me all excited...i thought that Carmen had gotten you 5 gold chains for Christmas and I was going to love both of you all the more!!!!
I have never had eggnog. I guess I'm really not missing anything. It sounds disgusting. Hope you had a great Christmas!
Kent,
I have always loved Christmas...planning what to buy you all was almost as important as what I actually got you. I made lists, and yes, checked them twice...didn't matter who was naughty or nice...you were getting gifts...
Although this year was in some ways difficult, I liked our brunch, and your famous shrimp and grits, and my snowman tree, and our new ornaments tradition, and Walker being excited and Heidi getting a pink stocking...and the steaks at your house, and the gifts we gave and received, and the awesome Christmas musical at church, and most important, of course, remembering that Jesus came to earth. It truly is the most wonderful time of the year.
p.s. I even enjoy the no name football games.
