Merry!
12/25/01
Why a merry merry xmas to you too. I bet you thought I wouldn’t make it.
Hell, I didn’t think I would.
Xmas is supposed to be all happy & cheerful, right?

At the end of the season, it’s really like this.

But you know what? THIS IS THE BEST CHRISTMAS EVER!
And not only because I’m done with Santa Pimping.
And not only because I’ve survived the season in spite of drug addict elves, cranky elves, raver elves and 16 year old hot bisexual elves and bitchy parents and snotty crying kids without either stabbing someone in the neck or performing sepuku on myself with a candycane.
And not only because I got to see some totally hot bloggers perform in drag for a stellar holiday revue in the company of other very cool blogger people. And not only cuz a hot lesbian was snoring in my bed this morning. Or an impending insane road trip is ahead of all of us.
And not because my Dad wished me merry christmas, thanks for the parking ticket (remember dave?) And not because I’ve gotten flowers and a huge lovely gift of spilling lentils from someone very kind to me.
But because.
Because it’s Xmas 2001 and in a year that’s been insane, and turbulent, challenging, stressful, and frenetic, it’s still something pretty special if you are still able to feel a little bit of Christmas in spite of all that.
Wishing you some seriously spiked eggnog.

PS
Not forgetting the reason for the season, inspite of your belief system or not, I wish you peace, love, and joy.
Or like my friend Ze Photagrapher put it
