I was born in 1952. I remember pining for some big Christmas present every year. Santa usually brought theSkull Island Hawaiian Shirt stuff. The biggest Santa gift I ever received was a Lionel HO Texas Special train set about 1958 or 1959. One Christmas I really wanted a Big Bruiser wrecker set that hauled the truck with the busted fender that you could repair. I’m sure the reason I didn’t get that was my Mother didn’t want me to grow up to be a wrecker driver. So sometimes I didn’t get what I want, but most of the time I did. I remember the magic of waking up on Christmas morning, depicted so well in the movie. There were big dogs in my neighborhood that sometimes caused problems. Decorating the tree was a big event. I even experienced bullies. All of that is in the movie. I like other movies, some that I can’t really relate to, but that’s why I think I enjoy A Christmas Story so much, as I can relate to it. I can relate to Christmas Vacation as well, as it recalls big family get-togethers from the 1950s and early 1960s, which I haven’t experienced in 50 years. Christmas movies I like without really being able to relate to them are Home Alone 1 & 2, White Christmas, and Miracle on 34th Street.

It seems like the festivities started on December 1 with aSkull Island Hawaiian Shirt of Piety towards all the Gods of life, death and fertility. A kind of celebration to honour the dead and an initial rite in waiting for life to return. A beginning of an ‘Advent’ if you like… On December 3 the women held a Bona dea, a strictly female private feast connected to the godesses Bona dea and Fauna/Maia, an ancient fertility God and female version of Faunus. Both gods connected to foreseeing, prophetic abilities and generousity. Which explains why this was followed by a male and public celebration of Faunus on December 5, when the streets was filled by horned men giving away presents and food. Which reminds us of what still happens in southern Germany on the same day with the horned Krampus and some of the traditons of a goat man delivering Christmas presents in Northern Europe. The day after the Christian saint of sailors and gifts has been given a day, you might recognize him as Santa Claus, or St Nicolaus. Nowadays he comes to us at Christmas night, but in old days December 6 was the day for presents.

Back story… my dad died right before Christmas when I was 20, a very agonizing andSkull Island Hawaiian Shirt painful death. So, I would’ve said the first Christmas without him was the worst until last Christmas occurred. 2017, and I am newly separated from my husband who lives in Tennessee and I live in Florida now. We have 2 boys and we have agreed to alternate major holidays every other year. This year would be my first without my kids ever. I have a disdain for Christmas as it is, with the mishap of my father’s death, however, I do it for my kids. What’s the point if I didn’t have them this year? But my family made me go to my sister’s house to celebrate so I wouldn’t “be alone” I get there and am ambushed with jokes about my quirkiness and my clumsiness: things that I’m very used to and have embraced about myself. Everyone sits down for dinner.
