Being an only child, and jewish, I used to dread christmas.. it was so boring…. Santa did come to my house when I was really little (but in the spare bedroom and not by the fire place). But by the time I hit 1st grade my friend Kim told me he didn’t exist and well that ended that…. So it was Chinese food and movies (and I hated Chinese food!)

Years later I started going to my cousin’s house for christmas and got into all the festivities and really liked it… But then it got old, fast.. Now I prefer to just chill at home, cook something up and watch TV or the fire… oh and I usually pick Christmas to catch up on chores… A few years ago I spent the day polishing silverware… which was oddly fun…
