Christmas Eve

We've all seen lots of Christmas specials on TV, read many stories, and heard tons of songs about all Santa Claus does to prepare for Christmas each year. Well, it's not true! Santa only delivers the presents and eats all the cookies. His personal assistant does all the important prep work, logistics and organizing, and her name is: "Christmas Eve."

She's the one who really keeps track of everything, and makes all the final preparations, but Santa Claus and his patriarchal oppression prevents us from knowing the truth! Without Christmas Eve, there would be no Christmas.

But, because of all of her last minute deadlines, and the impressive magnitude of it all, word has managed to leak out of her industriousness and her irreplaceable efforts, and that's why there's a day known as Christmas Eve: it celebrates all of her hard work and credits all of her efforts on our behalf; we've merely forgotten what the true meaning is (or else we've been mislead!).

So this Christmas Eve, let's celebrate not only the jolly old elf who delivers our toys; let's celebrate the one who makes it all possible: our heroine, Christmas Eve!

(Every personal assistant ever knows exactly what I'm referring to here.)
