Christmas tree decorating with 3 small children when suddenly…I felt this strange warm sensation near my heart.

Heartburn? No…Christmas Spirit! I felt cynicism melting like a spring thaw replaced by a distinct gratitude and a resounding faith in miracles washing over me like the tide.

So we kept going…hanging all kinds of silly symbols onto the tree, laughing. However after a bit more time with my fresh and warm Christmas Spirit it urged these bizarre prompts to yell out the window asking small children what day it was accompanied by a craving for a plump Christmas goose.

Screw this…I took some Tums and the damn feeling went away. Whew: I’m back to normal.
