Ever since the day my sister and I asked my parents why we celebrate Christmas when we're Jewish, there hasn't been much of a reason for us to anticipate December 25th (we also manage to kick ourselves thoroughly for being so shortsighted). My mother is an exception to this because for her, December 25th means that she is only one day away from the biggest shopping day of the year - The Day After Christmas. She has actually asked that I sleep over at her place the night before so that we can get a head start and has even threatened to wear her clothes to bed so that she can hit the ground running that morning. This only provides further evidence that my mother is the biggest Jew of us all.
This year may prove to be the exception, because this year there is the This American Life Christmas Spectacular!!! Now, a few people know that I am a big fan of movie trailers, but this may be the audio trailer to beat all holiday audio trailers.
Sleigh bells ring. Are YOU listening?
