Well ladies and Gentlemen it’s finally time. Now I know everyone has already had their decorations up and has been watching Christmas movies in secret out of consideration for others, but no longer.
All of the Trevor Stevens of the world can now shut up or be respectfully ignored because it is now the most wonderful time of the year. And every person you know who isn’t an idiot or is not named Micah knows that Christmas is the greatest holiday season to ever exist.
But this is a message for the Trevor’s and Mr. Yunt’s of the world.
And just like trying to get Coach Dodero to admit he’s proud of my play, I will be attempting the impossible task of trying to convince the grinches that Christmas truly is awesome.
Take the best part of every holiday and double it and that’s what Christmas is.
We got the awesome food/dinners from Thanksgiving. The holiday build-up and movies from Halloween. And best of all we have the culture of doing dumb stuff like in the Fourth of July.
Very similar to every other holiday you have the always-entertaining family gathering with its unique food dishes such as the seven fishes dinner, making many compare it to Thanksgiving.
On a previous Fat Man iteration I was talking about how good Thanksgiving is but when I say Christmas blows it out of the water. I mean it’s like the 6’5 Sr. lineman going against the freshman band kid who only tried out to not be as big of a disappointment to his father.
You have better food, better football, and you have way more family members, what more could you ask for?
Now as for Christmas we know that it isn’t just considered for one day, but is the season for over an entire month
The build-up is in my opinion the best part. Being able to sit at home and put up decorations while you and your family watch a Christmas movie, during a huge snowstorm just sipping hot Cocoa.
In the Christmas movie group, you can’t go two minutes without stumbling on a top ten classic of all time.
Don’t believe me?
Well here are just a couple of the movies that have to be watched around this time of the year: EFL, Home Alone 1-2, Santa Clause 1-3, A Christmas Story, The Polar Express, and much, much, much more.
The other part of the build-up is a bit more of a controversial thing but I think it is equivalent to the angels themselves signing, but others hate it with a burning passion. I am of course talking about the music.
Christmas music is a tough conversation cause I will say in defense of the Scrooges that Christmas songs can be overplayed way too much and I understand why people can get sick of it by December first. But if you aren’t an idiot about you can make the Christmas magic last.
The weather is also amazing cause you’re telling me when the normally high friction streets are now bare, completely iced over and you
have a golf cart and a sled in amazing condition, you are not about to make some memories? I am also convinced that snow was made for a kid with ADHD as you can do so much with it. Snowball fights, snowmen, snow forts, sledding. You name it and as long as you’re not a panzy about being cold you can find something fun to do.
Of course last but definitely not least we have Christmas Day which is just hands down the best day ever. Oh you think it’s the day you’re married or your wife gives birth to your first child well you are wrong and stupid. Christmas is just a beautiful amalgamation of both pure innocent magic and a little bit of greed. On this day you get to sit around the Christmas tree while you and your family exchange gifts and fight over who goes first. That’s just a moment above the rest, simple as that.
