NO RELIGIOUS DISCUSSIONS!!!

...just kidding.

I'd like to go to New York.
Maybe even Vermont - something cold and frosty and snowy.

Florida Christmas's just don't really cut it.
It's like every other day here. Green. Warm. Flying squirrels. Hurricanes.

I'd like to make figgy pudding just once.

I'd like to do Trader Vic's egg nog from his Book of Food and Drink like I did 3 years ago. Boy it's good.

I have 10 nephews and 2 nieces that I'd like to spend a little time with. They're all fully tiki-fied so it could be fun.

I'd like to do all of these things... but the reality is that I will be at Wal-mart or Walgreens until the very second that they close buying a truckload of crap that no one wants nor ever will. I'll thrust it into their greedy hands still in the crumpled plastic it came in and shriek "THERE! MERRY CHRISTMAS!" as if I were threatening someone. Then I'll run outside, sobbing at what we've become, and resolve to do better next year... until 'Ol Dec. 24th rolls around again.

Well, not really.
It has a slight ring of familiarity to it though, doesn't it?

Ho. ho. h. o.
