Dead People's Things

12/23/2025

It’s been a hard year for a lot of people. I know Shayne would want this day of all days to have moments of fun and joy. Take a moment for yourself. Take a moment to think about others. Just take a moment, any moment, to find something joyful about today, this week, this year. And in the words of Shayne… “I’ve been trying to spread the cheer of Christmas Eve Eve for years and in 2020 we need it more than ever. Growing up with divorced parents and even though we were with his family on Christmas Eve, the day before was a holiday just for me, my sisters and our dad. We always got to open one present on Christmas Eve Eve, sometimes he picked which one for us, sometimes we picked, and sometimes all hell broke loose and we opened them all in a frenzy. Even when I was an adult, when I no longer got presents, I got to open a gift on Christmas Eve Eve with my little sister. It was still just as exciting and that’s when I realized the day was for our dad way more than for us. He grew up tough and in poverty and if not for his amazing aunt and uncle he and his brother and sister wouldn’t have had gifts on Christmas. Growing up that hard and poor he never thought he’d be able to gift anything to anyone, so giving presents to his kids meant soooo much to him. He’d talk about Christmas Eve Eve for weeks before, sitting around the tree and eyeballing presents, getting us more and more hyped until the big day and we were about to burst with anticipation. He wasn’t getting us excited like I thought, he was really that proud and happy for us to open his presents that he couldn’t take it, he really was that excited. He’s been gone over a decade now and Christmas Eve Eve is still my favorite part of Christmas. and I open presents and let’s my nieces pick just one (for now) present to open.
It’s been a tough year, give into temptation, accept the excitement, restraint be damned, dive into the decadence, HYPE up someone you love and OPEN SOME DAMN PRESENTS TODAY!!”

It hasn’t felt much like Christmas for many, but maybe today being Christmas Eve Eve will bring about some holiday spirit. Shayne loved this day so much, so I hope we never forget how much excitement he had this time of the year. Share love with everyone you can. And I will leave you with Shayne’s infamous words. “I’ve been trying to spread the cheer of Christmas Eve Eve for years and in 2020 we need it more than ever.

It’s Christmas Eve Eve! In Shayne’s honor open a gift or a few today. And, if not a gift person, spend today doing something you love or with people you love. Shayne said it best in 2020 “I’ve been trying to spread the cheer of ChristmasEve Eve for years and in 2020 we need it more than ever.

In Shayne’s memory, his friends at Danger Zone Video & more are accepting donations for Toys for Tots. Help keep his generous spirit alive by donating new and unwrapped toys. The more obnoxious the toy the better!

Tis the season, which means it’s better to give than receive. Starting tomorrow we will be a Shayne’s Toy Drive drop spot. We will have bins where you can donate new & unwrapped toys. Let’s all come together and make sure some kids have a better Christmas than they could ever imagine!

Look, it’s cold, slick, and Christmas Eve Eve so open a gift or five. If you celebrate Christmas or don’t, see if you can find some joy in the holidays. Shayne would’ve been so pumped over this snowy Christmas Eve Eve. So, in honor of Shayne’s love for this time of the year, enjoy his sentiments from 2020. “I’ve been trying to spread the cheer of Christmas Eve Eve for years and in 2020 we need it more than ever.
