It's nearly impossible for me to describe just how uninterested I am in the upcoming winter solstice, and the newer (in the cosmological sense) religio-cultural celebrations of it that we've come to know as The Holiday Season®.
Disconnected. Totally.
But given the risk of sounding crabby--it's not at all my intention to begrudge anyone else their joys of the season--and the possibility of some chemical wrinkles, and not really having any nuanced insights about it all anyway, I'll just say
I can't wait for it to be January.
Can't. Wait.
I don't have the faintest notion what to get y'all. (Whoever "y'all" actually are. Ahhh....the joys of the single life....) And you have everything anyway, right? I know I have plenty of stuff for myself (and if you've read this blog before today you know that too), so what if we all just make donations to the ASPCA or help the blind, or rebuild NOLA (or should that be "help the blind rebuild NOLA"?), or cook each other dinner, or shovel somebody's walk, or pick up the phone and say "what's up?" or something?
Huh? Whaddya say?

I am ALL for this. I hate the searching-for-presents thing. But I do like having a Christmas tree. (Holiday tree?) And, in lieu of a donation to the ASPCA, if I could just get a puppy, that would be great, thanks.

Well, a puppy, sure....but from what I've heard, everyone who can have one does. At least among the 4 people who read this blog.
I'd take a puppy in lieu of a lease...
