So obviously the Admiral is getting into the holiday spirit.

[She skips out on "Hello" and "Hey guys, I'm awake". The former goes without saying, the latter is obvious.]

Last year we got hit with the Christmas storm too. It was nice, though kind of generic -- good food, mistletoe, lights, presents. It's a big holiday in multiple countries on earth, though it doesn't exist in most other cultures so I think it threw some people off.

I guess what I'm asking is, what do you celebrate if you have a winter holiday? Hell, if you celebrate Christmas, what traditions do you have? My kid always got her presents as part of a scavenger hunt, and I once had a friend whose parents, I shit you not, played "hide the pickle" on Christmas morning. It's not what it sounds like.

Also, last year I attempted to explain the stories behind Christmas and had very little success. Please, someone, do it better than I did.
