I know why Christmas memories are what everyone talks about when expressing delight at Christmas.
Because the pre-holiday baking, cooking, cleaning, wrapping, shopping are enough to turn the most devout Christian into an athiest.
So it appears that Christmas is a lot like childbirth. The horrors of the actual event pale after time until all you recall is smiles and numbness. And a really great gift.

I am attempting to factor in the cycle of return. Seeing as Christmas comes every year... it stands to reason that the Mother's of my children should have shut up about the "horrors of childbirth" by now.
Please explain why they haven't. If sometime within a period of 11 months, we grow numb to all but the smiles of Christmas, and it is likened to "child birth," then the obnoxious prattling of the women I spawned with should cease.
I am concerned that the comparison is either in error, or I have mated with complete psychos.
Could be either one, and considering how smart you seem to be... the latter is weighing heavily on my thoughts.
Personally, I've not forgotten the "horror" but I do believe that it is in poor taste to discuss it unless trying to induce guilt. Perhaps you have a deficit in that area and your mates feel obligated to try enacting some sort of long-ago-frozen conscience?
I may have instigated them with comments like: "Get my car keys and we can drive out of here." and I am also always with them when they are with their NEW men... when I can smile victoriously and say things like- "Dude, I have no interest in getting my wife back, especially after that meteorite hit her."
Basically, I am not a nice person. Kiss your husband.
