Best Christmas Stuff
Here's a "Best Christmas" meme to kick around:
Best Christmas Song: O Holy Night - it was always the final song of our midnight services growing up. Done correctly, it just about brings me to tears.
Best Christmas Gift Ever Received: A couple of years ago my wife gave me a credit card sized digital camera. We'd seen one a few months before, and I thought it was the coolest thing. I wasn't expecting it, so it was a great surprise.
The Atari 2600 when I was a kid has to come in a close second, though. Lots of fun hours spent on it....
Best Christmas Gift Ever Given (lingerie and jewelry don't count): It may sound silly, but I think it has to be the Piglet slippers I gave my wife a few years back.
Best Christmas Food/Drink: Christmas breakfast is coffeecake. Period.
Best Christmas Tradition: The hurling of the wrapping paper at each other after the gifts are given.
Best Christmas Special: I haven't seen it in years, but the one I remember loving growing up was called The Night the Animals Talked. The animals in the manger were able to speak on the night of Jesus' birth. They argue a bit before realizing the miracle of what was happening in their midst. As they try to spread the good news at dawn, their voices go away. It hasn't been broadcast in quite some time, which is unfortunate.
Best Christmas Movie: A Muppet Christmas Carol. It's hard to go wrong with Kermit.
Merry Christmas to all.
