Now, this is what Christmas is all about.

You think Millennials are bad? Get a load of what's coming after them.

The truth will set you free. Maybe. Telling children that Santa Claus is a dicey part of parenthood. The jolly myth of an overweight man tooling around in a magical sled commandeered by a pack of reindeer flying around in the sky giving presents to deserving kids is one that youngsters all over the world embrace, but one that only goes so far before we learn Saint Nick is as phony as a three-dolla

It’s the Friday before Christmas. Those of us who aren’t currently concealing the fact that we’ve slumped over at our desks in a eggnog-hangover-induced nap have glued our eyes to the clock, counting down the minutes to a leisurely holiday break. Everyone just wants to get home, gather with family or other loved ones around a crackling fire, put on the musical stylings of Burl Ives or Bing Crosby, and have a nice mug of hot cocoa. Time slows to a crawl on the Friday before a long weekend, and we both know you’re not getting any work done today, so why not kick back with the soothing sounds of Chewbacca moaning out a classic Christmas standard?

A few weeks ago, I attended a holiday party where Nick Offerman’s ‘Yule Log’ played in the background for the entire evening. As people milled about the living room, passing appetizers and making polite introductions, the wise face of Nick Offerman beamed forth from the television, taking occasional sips from a glass of whisky and listening to the crackling fire. And despite years spent listening to Mannheim Steamroller and Frank Sinatra around the holidays, it was the silence of Nick Offerman’s fake living room that now sounds the most like Christmas to me.

If Santa lets you down this year, there's still some hope.
