This isn't meant to be a mockery.
even those of us who are intimately versed in evil beyond the simple inclusion of that three digit zip code sometimes pause and reflect
pondering the meaning of it all
the holiday institutionalized by a cadre of men - many of whom were themselves likely irredeemable - themed on the notion of redemption and new life, of the concept of love so potent that it could grind the machinery of the world to a halt by throwing itself headlong into the gears
even without the trappings of religion, i sometimes find it saddening to see how much of that intrinsic meaning has been lost.
we lose ourselves in this seasonal mass hysteria, we become cartoon caricatures of ourselves season all too frequently, a series of mad scrambles and merry (and not so merry) chases from one point to the next
i sometimes wonder if we are not all angels who just happen to be in different states of fallen-ness
were these black wings white once?
was this dark cloud that swims around me once a halo - melted and charred and vaporized from the heat of descent but never able to leave its fixed position about my head?
it matters not.
i am what i am
we are what we are
(whatever that may be i don't think any really know)
don't mind me, i'm actually having a decent holiday season, yes, even here, down south in hell
merry christmas, everybody

All I know is that I'm not getting that Callaway putter I've been coveting for two years now. It is a bit pricey.
Besides, xmas is really for the kids anyway. I just have to make sure to keep as much "jesus" out of their whole experience as I can. So far so good.
I make sure the kids have a good one, but I'm not really a holiday person. I don't dislike them per se; I just don't really get into them. Frankly, I find them a little distracting. Plus, my wife turns into a total basket case at this time of year.
We have an 8' tree ($140 !!!) that she has put 1000 lights on. Yes, 1000! She wraps the strings very tightly around the trunk and each branch. Heck, when I was a youngster, we'd just have a couple of strings going around on the outside from top to bottom. The whole thing took maybe 10 minutes. She takes 4-5 hours to get those lights on. But that's the least of her troubles; everybody has to have the right gift; only certain amounts can be spent on certain people; the meal and party planning. And guess who gets to take the brunt of the venting of the stress that this whole buisiness creates; you guessed it. But hey, I'm a husband- that's what I'm here for eh?
SatanX3, send my wife some bad vibes, cause she's very resistant to good ones. So bad can't be bad right? And send me some as well; I'm sure it'll help my game. You know, it's 75 degrees here today. I'm going to play a little par three this afternoon. Golf in December- gotta love it.
I'm glad your having a smooth season, and I hope it gets smoother bra!

I won't get into a diatribe here, but I will say I realized I am mad about
Christmas. You know how much it means to me and the rest of the family. If
you really don't care about Christmas, it seems to me you would be happy to
make others happy who do care about it. I don't expect you to be in charge
of all my happiness, and I've made an effort to find it on my own and have
been doing pretty well. But to me, some things involving family and people
you love are fundamental.

1) if she means by the rest of the family -my brother- then she's wrong about anyone caring
2) if she means the part which we visit on xmas eve, then she's still wrong. they hardly like each other and they really don't know me
3) there were no flights on xmas
4) if she really cared she needed to say something a lot sooner
5) i don't care for her 'logical' arguement which somehow comes to the conclusion that because i dislike xmas and she doesn't, then i should at least do whatever she wants me to for the occasion
6) she is totally fucking insane

Word. Just to be clear, I was referring to El Diablo's B-Day joke.
