My cup runneth over. That’s right, my little XXXmas gnomies, I’m saying it loud and clear for all to hear: Can you feel the love tonight? I can. From the top of my cap through my kerchief and garters, all the way to the tips of my jingle-jangling toe-bells, I feel it. And I’m not the only one.

There are people out there and they’re watching us frolic through the snow. We build snowpeople in questionable positions and have snowball fights with the kids on Santy’s naughty list and the watchers are 100% jelly.

Like, bowl full of jelly jelly. We sit in front of table spreads of giant turkeys and roast beast, noshing cookies like heathens and not sharing because what exactly is a cookie exchange?

Our cookies brought all of the elves to our yard and now the toys aren’t even being made anymore for the shenanigans we’re enjoying. All of the toys that are being made now R-(for)-us.

The watchers are curious. They want to see how it’s done. They really, really like to watch. So I’m writing this article so they can see all y’all in your true glory, guzzling Christmas Spirits and singing sleighing songs all night with Santa Baby and the three wandering kings.
