I missed the thanksgiving parade this year. Was there a Garfield ballon in it this year again? That was one of my favorite balloon characters every year. I like this article segafan.

Thanks for reading, Vaporman! It means a lot! And thecrow, yeah. I loved the Family Matters Christmas specials. I probably should've gotten a picture from those, but oh well.

That Urkel pic reminds me of all the Family Matters Christmas specials they used to show on ABC. Those writers really understood how to make Christmas episodes.

Wow! Where to begin? So much of what you have gone into here I can relate to.
For starters, I can't agree with you enough regarding commercials during the Parade. Good grief, does there really need to be THAT many breaks in the action? I suppose if you had recorded it previously (as you mentioned), you could simply fast forward through the commercials... but it shouldn't have to be that way.
Putting up the tree as a kid was not something we really did much as a family. Now that I have my own little family, we DO make it an occasion (especially the choosing of the tree and the star that will adorn the top).
An what Christmas would be complete without the right television specials and films?
When you're a child, it doesn't really matter what you're told or how you're taught... you are GOING to remain solely focused on presents. How can you not? So a kid can hardly be liable for not desiring to attend a church service in the midst of such excitement. And I say that as a Christian myself. Thankfully, the actual time for opening presents (and playing with them) and attending service rarely conflicted for me.
Finally, I share your affinity for snow. During the beginning of this month, we were in Florida. It was so strange to see all the Christmas lights and hubbub in such a warm climate. I felt like something was missing. Then, in the Magic Kingdom, there are places and times when "fake" snow (consisting of clumped up bubbles) fall from the sky. I felt sad for those there that have never actually seen the real deal. That fake snow made me long for home and the real thing.
