Fess Up

Hello, my name is Momish and I am a Christmas junkie.

Fess up, people. I know I am not alone here. You too love this stuff, admit it. If you’re a junkie like me, you’ve got your car radio tuned to B101, singing along to the six versions of ”Jingle Bell Rock” they play every day.

You’ve changed your Windows wall paper to a winter wonderland scene, complete with falling snow. Forget that it slows everything down to a crawl on your PC… you gotta have the falling snow.

You’re spending every weekend searching for that perfect gift, ornament or decoration. You’ve marched along with the Winter Warlock, putting “one foot in front of the other” on more than one occasion. And before you even take your coat off, you’re eagerly sifting through the mail to see what new cards you got.

But most of all, you’ve already been to Macy’s to see the holiday light show. You sat your adult bum down next to that eagle statue, then you watched, smiled and sang along with all the third graders, just like you did when you were in third grade.

As cheesy as it is, you know you still love it. C’mon, how can anyone resist a smile when Frosty’s arms blink up, down, up, down, up, down. It’s classic. Personally, I think it is the organ music that lends itself to that magical feeling. Well, that mixed with a big, fat dose of nostalgia.

So, have you been yet? Fess up!
