My good blogger-friend Phil recently commented on Christmas People and Non-Christmas People.
Apparently – according to my family, at least – I am an NCP.

They put up the decorations.
I look at said decorations.
They drive through neighborhoods for lights and decorations.
I watch Fireplace for Your Home.
They sing along with 24/7 Christmas radio station.
I sing Christmas carols in German.
And Latin.
And English.
They watch Hallmark Christmas movies.
I watch A Christmas Story.
And Fireplace for Your Home.
They drink mulled cider and hot chocolate and eat sugar cookies and gingerbread.
I drink mulled cider or hot chocolate or eggnog or coffee.
I eat sugar cookies and gingerbread and – when I can get it – lebkuchen.
While watching Fireplace for Your Home.
I enjoy Christmas, just in a different way. Don’t judge me.




Oh, you are outed. So much a TCP. (Traditional Christmas Person).
If you sing carols – in German and Latin and English, you are TCP
If you drink mulled or eggnog, you are TCP
If you eat lebkuchen you are a serious TCP
Some are just more skilled and discriminating – less willing to accept pale imitations
Stay firm! Keep the TCP (Fireplace for your home) light burning!
Great post – thanks for the mention!

Gotta love the Yule Log! I don’t know why but none of the newer versions live up to the one KPIX used to show “in the day”

Oh dear, I used the wrong call sign. It was WPIX in New York. K prefixes are west of the Mississippi.
