Chri$tma$ $pirit


I'm going to make a shocking confession right now.  I don't know how to Christmas.  I actually just discovered this on this very night.  At 31 years old, I have no idea how to truly deck the halls with merry measure.  You see, I was raised in a non-Christmas celebrating household.  Christmas day was a day like any other during my childhood.  Obviously I knew what Christmas was...sort of.  From what I gathered from classmates and TV, Santa brought amazing presents, there was ham involved, a beautiful Christmas tree, and time with family you never see most of the year.  A beautiful snow-covered time to make memories and tear open presents with the all the gusto and grace of vikings storming a village.  Joyful.
