What is your favorite holiday tradition?

CNN takes a backseat to the Hallmark Channel during the entirety of December.  My wife’s choice—not mine.  It’s become a holiday tradition to passively view those cheesy, 120-minute Hallmark holiday movies, knowing precisely when another two hours of my life has slipped away.  That being within five minutes of the lone, inevitable kiss between the lead characters.  A Cozy Christmas Inn completely upended my tradition this year.  Jodie Sweetin and some dude I hadn’t seen in any previous Hallmark films locked lips.  I immediately peered down at the clock, fully expecting it to read five minutes shy of the hour.  To my confusion, it showed xx:16.  I figured the TV must’ve been paused at some point recently, so I pushed Live TV.  Nothing happened.  Pressing the Info button, I saw—to my horror—44 minutes remained.  WTF!?  I felt so betrayed.  I always thought there were two entities I could trust explicitly: Stephanie Tanner, and Hallmark’s formulaic use of the end-of-movie kiss.  Guess I’ll have to find a new favorite holiday tradition—one that won’t betray my confidence.  Probably some bullshit sounding tradition like … I don’t know… spending time with loved ones.
