Day 9: These Are a Few of My Favorite Things

Okay, seriously. Why is this song considered to be a Christmas song? Julie Andrews lists a bunch of different items that make her happy. A couple of them make a reference to winter, but there is nothing that connects the song to Christmas. So why must we be subjected to another annoying song, especially when it has nothing to do with Christmas?

Anyway, here are a few of my favorite things:

Optimus Prime
Alyson Hannigan
A comfortable bed
Putting on socks that are fresh out of the dryer
Mom's macaroni & cheese
Watching Transformers in IMAX
Seeing a favorite singer in concert
A full day of skiing
Putting on sneakers after a full day of skiing
Having my car pass inspection without any work being required
Finding a really old coin
Carving a new stamp and putting it in my logbook for the first time
Randomly quoting lines from Monty Python and someone following suit
The color blue
Watership Down by Richard Adams
Owning someone in a game of Killer Bunnies
Pepe LePew cartoons
Halloween
Lying in the outfield at Holman Stadium during the 4th of July fireworks
The opening scene of X-2: X-Men United
Roast beef sandwiches from Bentley's
The country of Morocco
Collecting keychains from around the world
Stepping outside after a snowstorm, but before the snowplows have gone by
