You Know You're Home for Christmas in South Carolina When...

You arrive at the airport and people are shouting, "Welcome Home!" in their most enunciated southern drawls.

You get to eat at Chic-fil-a - twice in one day.

You have friends that camp out for 30+ hours to get coupons for Free Chic-fil-a meals.

Your friends wrap their presents in the finest newspaper they can find.

Your granddad makes homemade wine from "scuppernongs."

You realize that Walmart is the redneck capital of the world, and, on Christmas Eve, is like it's own Redneck City.

Your 2 year old second cousin gets her first fishing rod for Christmas.

Your 6 year old second cousin asks the local car dealer for his autograph because she "saw him on TV."

You, and everyone else in your family, gets some money from the cow sale.

"Trash" is a Christmastime favorite.

You get Christmas presents that meet the following criteria:

* Are made by Carhartt
* Are boots
* Are camoflauge
* Have to do with fishing
* Are for your 4-wheeler
* Have the state flag emblem on them (Palmetto Tree and Crescent Moon)

Christmas Eve dinner consists of turkey, rice and gravy, green beans, dressing, squash casserole, macaroni and cheese, rolls, and sweet tea.

Christmas dinner consists of ham, dressing, macaroni and cheese, fried squash, green bean casserole, rolls, and sweet tea.

Your dog's stocking is as full as yours is.

MERRY CHRISTMAS!!!
