Things I love about CHRISTMAS CHRISTMAS (aka XMAS XMAS)

*the Salvation army guys and the mini candy canes they give you
*XMAS XMAS twinkle lights
*tinsel
*waking up to a pile of presents beneath the XMAS XMAS tree
*dancing in the kitchen with family
*arguing over who has to clean the turkey carcass
*A Christmas Story
*making sure we have eggnog so as to not delay the opening of presents
*repeating XMAS XMAS and loving the people who understand
*people seem to be in a happy mood, no matter what
*XMAS XMAS themed toe socks
*carols
*XMAS XMAS cookies
*wrapping presents
*watching football in a trytophan-induced stupor
*the sound of the bells on my stocking, which I strained to hear on Christmas Eve when I was a kid because it meant that Santa had come
*Star Wars Drinking Monopoly, the Empire Cup, and Punt the Ewok
*displaying even the broken XMAS XMAS ornaments on the windowsill
*the Reindeer bells we put on the front door so it sounds like XMAS XMAS whenever anyone leaves or comes in
*Thanksgiving dinner, part 2
*and of course all the family time
