why christmas just isn't the same when you're an adult

when you ask santa for a down comforter and "work clothes"

you're christmas list does not contain anything from toys r us or the jcpenny catalog

you don't leave out cookies and milk anymore

you help wrap the presents from santa for your siblings

you have to participate in the grown-up family pollyanna

you have to buy gifts for everyone else now since you make money

you won't think you hear the reindeer on the roof or see santa's sleigh in the sky

you sleep in on christmas morning

you and your siblings don't wear new, matching, footy pj's to bed on christmas eve

you pass out on christmas eve from egg nogg overdose, not from being told santa won't come if you aren't asleep

you have to go to work the day after christmas
