It just ain't Christmas unless I ...

Some examples for me, just to name a few ....

It just ain't Christmas unless I ...

... Watch It's A Wonderful Life, Rudolph, and It's A Charlie Brown Christmas

... Go buy some Eggnog

... Get some of Mama's chocolate fudge, pinwheels, and sausage balls

... Hear the following songs:

Jingle Bell Rock by either Brenda Lee or Bobby Helms, Bing's White Christmas, Jose Feliciano's Feliz Navidad, and Mama Got Run Over By a Reindeer

... drive around to see how everyone has decorated for Christmas

... buy a miniature ceramic church for my bride

... see the Norelco Santa slide down the hill commercial!!!!

Anyone like to take over from here?

 

Get stressed out!

 

Bake a lot of German Christmas cookies.

 

Don'r forget Ralphie and his Red Ryder BB gun in "A Christmas Story".

 

---- Listen to full CD of Johnny Mathis, with O Holy Night to be replayed over and over


----Drive around Cleveland and Clayton with family, Christmas CDs and hot chocolate to ooh and aaah over Christmas lights


----see one locally produced, live holiday show, like Raleigh Ringers, Cinderella, etc...

 

Remember the people who gave me or made each Christmas ornament as I add them to the tree.

 

Watch "Emmett otter's jug band Christmas", which was a staple when the kids were young ....

 

Listen to Ray Conniff and Bing Crosby.

Sherry

 

Watch Christmas Vacation at least 5 times

Listen to Alabama, Kenny & Dolly, Scotty McCreery and Elvis Christmas music

Spend way too much money

 

Go see the Meadow Lights, ride the train and buy candy at the store there.

 

Hear singers who sing traditional Christmas songs, but throw away the original melody in favor of something that's not even close.
