Favorite Christmas Things

So, Christmas is less than a week away. Since there seems to be a "holiday variety" of just about everything, here's a short list of my favorite Christmas things.
The best Christmas...
Movie: Die Hard (yes, it is a Christmas movie)
Beverage: Eggnog w/spiced rum (although I do like a good Wassel)
Song: "The people that walked in darness", No. 11 from Handel's Messiah
Carol: "O Come, O Come, Emanuel"
Tree: white pine (okay, so I just pulled that out of the air)
Food: Roast Beast
Book: How the Grinch Stole Christmas, Dr. Seuss (Dickens sucks!)
Poem: "For the Time Being", W.H. Auden (especially the "Temptation of St. Joseph" section)
OT passage: "For unto us a child is born..." (Isaiah 9:2-7)
NT passage: The Magnificat (Luke 1:46-55), or "Behold the handmaiden of the Lord; may it be done to me according to your word" (Luke 1:38)
Activity: hanging out in the kitchen during Christmas parties
Favorite Christmas Helicopter Pilot: Dusty!!!!!

That's about as good as I can do for now. Feel free to share your favorite Christmas ______ , especially if it's a category I didn't think of. aDios

Coye, I was quite amused by your peppering of this post with random links. Dusty falling from the helocopter was especially funny. keep up the good work.
