I once had a long heartfelt conversation with our old dog (RIP) late, late on Christmas Eve. Then I put away the bottle and went to bed.
For me, it is to always hear the sleigh bell ring.

My DW claims I'll die in my sleep if I kiss anyone other than her under the mistletoe. The fact that camels will be involved in this death makes me think it's just a myth but why chance it...

I grew up in a house that had a coal burning fireplace (tiny), each year until I was about 17, my bros and I had to shovel a ton of coal in to the coal bin in the basement before the onset of winter.
And yes, I got a lump of coal in my stocking one year. I was a bad boy.
