1.  Another week between Thanksgiving and Christmas.

2.  More new Lifetime and Hallmark Christmas movies interspersed between prior year reruns. 

3.  No-calorie Christmas cookies.  

4.  A radio station that doesn't play any songs by artists who would have been well-advised to never tackle contemporary versions of Christmas songs in the first place.  Latest entry on the list:  Demi Lovato.

5.  Make that two more weeks between Thanksgiving and Christmas.

6.  Sparkly holiday tops made from natural fabrics.

7.  A live evergreen tree that never has to be watered, doesn't drop needles, and always smells like fresh pine.

8.  Holiday cards that arrive immediately after you complete them—in paper form in that old-fashioned mail box. 

9.  Clear skies every night to see the stars.

10. Peace on earth, good will toward, not just men, but everybody.
