Enjoying the holiday mishaps of others isn’t quite as mean spirited as schadenfreude – but it sure is fun! It’s not always the perfection of the day that you remember. No one will recall that your cherished crystal and silver shined, and the table was perfect. They will remember the cat riding the tree to the ground. In the much-loved “A Christmas Story” everything from The Bumpus Hounds to a fancy ‘imported’ lamp and bunny rabbit jammies conspired to keep perfection at bay. After enough time has passed that you can appreciate the humor, often the the most memorable events that mark holiday celebrations throughout the years are the wee disasters and glitches…So lighten up, have some nog or grog and roll with it!
