Damn - a month already since my last post.
The Christmas season gets me down. I really can't deal with any aspect of the holidays except the booze.
I told my family that I wasn't going to do the Santa bullshit with my son and you would think I told them that I was going to feed the kid glass! They are outraged and feel that it is their duty to convince me otherwise. I'm not having it. It is really amazing at how upset everyone is. It is as if I was doing something truly harmful. They are angry. I simply told them that they were lucky I played their stupid Christmas game at all, I draw the line at Santa.
The world has gone crazy for Christmas. All meaning is lost and it is a consumer fucking nightmare. I was in non-christian India and China a few years ago just before christmas and everything was decorated for christmas?! How fucking stupid is that?

it gives me an excuse to be sappy and mushy and love my family and sing loud and people cant call me crazy... even though i very well may be.
