Some parts of Christmas can be a bit.....ridiculous. I don't like waiting for presents, but it brings the family together. I hate having to think of things I want, but the dinner is always delicious. Many people don't have enough money to buy presents for everyone, but they get gifts as well. The weather is freezing cold, but then there's the fabulous smell of chimney smoke. And no other time of the year is my craving for hot cocoa and ginger bread cookies considered normal instead of bizarre. Personally I think the best thing of all are the lights. They're a huge waste of energy, BUT THEY'RE SO SHINY!
