Okay, Mama Zen’s up to her tricks again and you’re ALL tagged, the whole darn bunch of ya,  starting with Shay Fireblossom who’s gonna get a complimentary plate of fudge for participating.  So here I go.

Five Things I Love About Christmas

1.  The Trail of Lights here in Austin, TX, USA

2.  Not having to shave the legs to attend said Trail of Lights.

3.  The scent of bayberry, still searching for the exact smell of that candle Mom had when I was a young ‘un.  Some say L. Cohen has one.  But he’s not so good at returning calls or e-mails.

4.  Shiny gold wrapping paper.

5.  Christmas Eve church service, the hush and the joy. (I always cry a bit in church.)

6.  SIX!?!?  (But eet ees meme sacreliege, non, to add annuder?)   (Please repeat previous sentence aloud in the accent of Chef in Disney’s “The Little Mermaid” or Jannie might have a Blue, Blue Christmas, without you.)

(Please note:  No non-Christmas celebraters were meant to be harmed during the creation of this post.)  (Jannie’s a Shiksa, remember?)
