Somehow, the following things always cheer me up:
- Drinking gingerbread hot chocolate
- Watching “It’s a Wonderful Life” with my Dad
- Singing by candlelight
- Decorating sugar cookies (& then eating them)
- Wrapping Christmas presents
- Shopping for useless stocking stuffers
The rest of the year I can say “bah humbug” to jollification if I want to, but Christmas is reserved for unnatural happiness. And I’m glad that it is.
