I really do. I love the way pretty glowing lights appear on trees and houses. I love how the air inevitably smells more and more like crisp winter frost tinged with a hint of chimney smoke, even in a city where it rarely gets below 45. I love the sound of bells that infuse elevator musak and songs on the radio. I adore the smell of cinnamon, hot chocolate, and freshly baked gingerbread. Hell, I even enjoy the special lattes and massively sugary drink concoctions that
pop up for a limited time on the Starbucks menu. Am I a consumer whore for Christmas? Probably. Totally.But the part I love the most is the unspoken sense of warmth and gooeyness (like the inside of a half-baked cookie, all melty with chocolate) that envelopes people and their families during this time. I love the celebration of love. And I'm really really excited for my first Christmas as a wife :)
Now that I've gotten the mushy part out of the way, I want to share with you a little bit of pre-Christmas cheer (in the form of Shaun Peterson - a director/actor I work with.) Please enjoy my first foray into the realm of comedy on Take180.com!
