As I sit here at my computer at 1:37am on Friday, January 2, 2009, I think it has finally dawned on me that Christmas is over. And I'm sad. Christmas is my favorite holiday and the festivity surrounding it always lifts my spirits. So in honor of the holiday that just passed, I offer up my favorite things from the 2008 Christmas season.-- Christmas lights. They always entertain me, though their purpose has been long lost.
-- Garland. I wish we all would be kinder to garland and leave it up year-round. Ribbons, too.
-- Opening Christmas gifts at home. There is little better than being with family when it is time to celebrate.
-- Saying "Merry Christmas" to as many people as possible. None of this "Happy Holidays" stuff!
-- Vacation Days. I have a bad habit of not taking time off the first 11 months of the year. So it all falls during the holidays. And, man, did I ever need it.
