Hang a shining star upon the highest bough

The Christmas season can officially begin. I've written my first Christmas card, wrapped my first present, and had my first listening to Babs' A Christmas Album, the officially sanctioned Christmas music of all of JenGarrett's holidays. Her version of Jingle Bells used to be my favorite Christmas carol, but now I think it's Have Yourself a Merry Little Christmas. There's just something about "Through the years, we all will be together." Maybe it's because two of my three sisters now live states away. Maybe it's because I'm cheap. Whichever. Merry Christmas, people. Or happy holidays. Or enjoy the day off and sneering at the rest of us fools rushing around. Whatever makes you happy.
