My five most favorite things about the holidays...

1. Christmas Eve mass complete with a pageant put on by the children of the church. I always cry during the final hymn, Joy to the World.

2. Wrapping gifts on Christmas Eve. It reminds me of the days when my sister-in-law would come over to wrap the gifts for my nieces with my mom and I, when I was a teenager. To this day, the smell of scotch tape reminds me of this annual tradition.

3. Elf, National Lampoon's Christmas Vacation, Christmas with the Kranks and TBS' 24 hour A Christmas Story marathon.

4. Memories associated with ornaments on our tree.

5. Driving around, looking at our neighbor's Christmas lights.
