In my mind, Christmas Eve '99 would look just like this: the cozy and mellow sound of fire, the waiting for opening presents & the sweet colors of the Christmas tree lights; all surrounded by a halo of cold, yet inviting ambiance. Let it snow, let it snow, let it snow!
I didn't know all those fancy words when I was a kid. But the Christmas holidays were, and are still, my favorite and coolest time of the year.
