Awesome Christmas Eves, and the Other Kind.

Wow, Christmas Eve. It's a magical time of tinsel and fairy dust, rainbow powder and snowflake breath, jingle bells and batman smells, yule log sparkle and sunshine waterslides. It's the most wonderful time of the year!

Except, sometimes, it isn't...

Sometimes, I think back to a film I saw a few years ago called "Christmas Evil." In that movie, (and please, feel free to assist me with the details), a man who plays Santa Claus loses his mind and goes on a killing spree.

That, folks, was a bad Christmas Eve, devoid of cascading smiles, or circumnavigating hugs, or buttefly kiss buildings, or shooting star moonbeam pies.

So, I hope your Christmas Eve is not evil, but instead features one of the following: Puppy skip dances, bubble parachutes, squirt gun bangledunes, glitter pumpkins, or firework bonanazas.
