Also, I like getting stuff.
I had to write this early in December because I can already feel my cynicism slipping away as my favourite time of year approaches. I may not believe in god, but who can't get behind peace on earth, goodwill and a crapload of presents? And you'd have to be one stone-hearted bastard not to mist up when George Bailey's friends and neighbours come running to validate his lifetime of sacrifice. Seriously, that scene destroys me.
Of course, the real joke is that Jamie and I celebrate Christmas for the exact same reason almost certainly the same reason you celebrate your holidays: it's what our parents did when we were kids.
And with that, let me leave you with the least appropriate holiday decoration this side of a crucified Santa.
At this point, I would like some credit for not making the obvious Adeste fideles joke.
