3. You are still looking for Tickle Me Elmo.
   
4. You never got the Red Ryder BB gun you wanted as a kid.
   
5. You did get the Red Ryder BB gun you wanted and almost shot your eyes out with it.
   
6. You keep standing under mistletoe but nothing ever happens.
   
7. Your grandmother really did get run over by a reindeer.
   
8. There is nothing to watch on TV but It's a Wonderful Life.
   
9. You finally remember a repressed memory of eating what your childhood friend told you was lemonade flavored snow.
