Someone asked me the other day if the holiday season made me happy. The truth is, I can't remember the last time I really enjoyed the season. In fact, I was even having trouble discerning what about it should be about. How does one get into the spirit these days? The balmy December weather hasn't been helping. My friend suggested we get together, watch old holiday movies, make some Christmas cookies, listen to some Christmas music. All of these are good ideas. After our phone call, I took a candy cane down from my work Christmas treet and ate it. That started thawing me. Then, "Miracle on 34th Street" -the version that my sister and I love the best (with Dylan McDermott).
