Here is the kind of day one would need to experience that would live up to the hype:
7 am: wake up, look outside. Not only is there a fresh layer of snow (the season's first!) but you can see reindeer tracks on the neighbor's roof.
8 am: after eating a breakfast of farmfresh eggs gathered that VERY MORNING and pancakes with fresh maple syrup tapped that VERY MORNING everyone gathers around the 15' douglas fir. The decorations on the tree look more beautiful than ever before.
okay, never mind. I was going to go on and on with some super-romantisized description of a glorious Christmas that would warrant the hype, and I can't do it. No matter how good it is, its not THAT good.
Now I guess I need to work on getting some Paxil.
