Re: Reasons I Love Christmas
I love revisiting memories from past Christmases. Talking about loved ones that are no longer with us. That's bittersweet, as I do feel pangs of sorrow where I miss loved ones, too. Remembering putting together that little doll baby stroller with a gazillion pieces til 3:30am, then getting up before 5 because the kids were too excited to sleep in.
Oh, goodness.
Had a game table for the oldest grandson, he would not go to bed as he was super excited because Santa had promised him that. Had multiple games, and I got started on it at 12:30 am and finished at 4:45 AM. Went to bed to have him wake us up at 5:15 AM. Now he sleeps in until the crack of noon. Now I am putting toys together for his children...and I love it. Thanks for making me smile Mr. C.

Related to Doc's reason: No one calling at the office.
It's about the only 2 weeks a year people won't ride you for not getting to X or Y, and it's quiet. Sometimes I use that for work, that nice quiet work where you can think, sometimes for a vacation.
This year will be work, nowhere to go on vacation. lol

I love listening to Eartha Kitt sing Santa Baby. In three minutes she could fix anybody’s ED problems.

Some people/places/stations start it too early, but most Christmas music is enjoyable, even cheery, to listen to.
Re: Reasons I Love Christmas
Heat Mizer and Snow Mizer.
And maybe Yukon Cornelius and the Bergermeister Meisterberger

Memories. After the divorce no more epic Christmas Eve parties but that was the most memorable thing.

All football, all the time with a healthy dose of stories from his Marine days. He passed in 2015 and I miss our holiday time together.
