Spike? It's you. It's really you! My therapist thought I was holding on to false hope, but…I knew you'd come back. You're like…you're like Gandalf the White, resurrected from the pit of the Balrog, more beautiful than ever. Oh…he's alive Frodo. He's alive.

That man was going to shank me. Over an omelette. Two eggs and a slice of government cheese. Is that what my life is worth?

Don't get me started on the Christmas music hateration.

I adore Christmas music with a kind of unholy passion (and the irony is not lost on me). But, I only allow myself to listen to it from T'giving to New Year's Day. It's a thing.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.

The 6th! The last day of Christmas!

Shit's all sorts of different now.

Also, egg nog should not be bought in stores.

I only buy the stuff that is in the glass dairy bottles. SO GOOD.

No! Make from scratch!

I like Christmas music that has Jesus in it. I hate winter wonderlandish music.

xmas music is just another whole thing. I don't like hearing them 24/7. but I like playing them in may car. and because the music is so constant - I will find myself walking around singing it - at the beach - in july.

1. I was a much more rational 5 year old than many of you.

2. My new favorite holiday is Christmas Eve, because our new tradition (started last year) is to build a fire and sit around watching Wallace and Gromit shorts and eating fancy cheese (Wensleydale, natch, but I am also fond of a good Chesire. And schmancy crakers). Although now that I have a kid who grokks the whole present thing, yet is too young to by cynical, I can see Christmas day being pretty fun, too.

You've never met my mother. My stance was very rational.

I've tried! It turns out very much bad and leads to not having any more friends due to egg nog poisoning.

Maybe it was your mother sending telepathic messages that got your father a ride to a taxi the other day. "He's a safe guy; pick him up!"

It's five thousand for kissing, ten thousand for snuggling... End of list.

No! Make from scratch!

Give us a recipe, fancy-pants.
