Merry Happy Keep X in Your Xmas
I am ambivalent and conflicted about Christmas. I’m not about the Christ story; I have only recently learned the art and nuance of gifting and being gifted; I’m a loner; I like the compulsion to see, talk to and hang out with family, something that can be too easy to slip past; I’m grateful to be in NO and it to still be here; I like little colored lights and red and green chili peppers and stars and tinsel and the smell of a tree and wrapping presents and actually cooking instead of tossing, heating, unwrapping, microwaving. But then there I am out in the mishpocheh–vegan, atheist and from New Orleans. Ouch.

Holiday Greetings
It’s time to make another magical, atheist, vegan Christmas/holiday season for The Girl. I will take a break from now until about the 30th. Spare an animal–have a vegetarian/vegan holiday meal. Donate to others and smile for no reason.
I love this so much. It replaces my fave for years, “Have a cool yule”.
Happy hollerdays, G! Best to the family.
Have heaps of festive fun and enjoy the mulled wine. Be careful who you end up under the miseltoe with, etc, etc. Btw, is american TV as bad over christmas as it is in Britain?
We used to say that back when Ecstasy was legal.
This may well be my favorite holiday post this year. I got here late but Leigh always beats me to the commenting punch so…
