With the kids clocking in at 4, 4, & 6, I’m fully aware that my Christmases are in their Golden Era. If Lazaro Christmases are the Chicago Bulls, it’s 1991-1998… though hopefully without so long or a come down.
I’ve always been pretty Christmascore, but that little bit of awareness is a bonus nudge to really soak it in. This year, that meant playing in a Severance themed Christmas Musical, taking the Holiday Express Train, the family unintentionally booking a whole restaurant for Christmas Eve, and a proper Jolabokflod.
Going Christmaximalist isn’t for everybody, but I deeply enjoyed it this year.
