Am I really posting on Christmas Eve?
December 25th, 2005 by Bill
It is Christmas Eve. It’s very late. And I don’t give a flying fuck about anything. It’s really quite grand. I’m in a very sweet place – but maintaining it over the next year … Ah! That’s the trick.
Oh well … For now, I’m not worrying about that. I’m eyeing the Glenfiddich and thinking – yes, with a bit of ice, that would be a fine capper.
Toodle-oo, y’all. And may tomorrow be peaceful and fine.
Additional note: I’m listening to ‘Making Spirits Bright’, a Dean Martin disc of Christmas songs. Why, you may ask? Well, because Dino always sounds happy and half-in-the-bag. Now, if that’s not the holiday spirit, I don’t know what is. And if you’re going to listen to music of the season, you can’t go wrong with Dean. It’s all very retro too. So you have this illusion that your hip and cool when you most certainly are not.
Yet another additional note: I really do hope this doesn’t come out the wrong way, but on an unrelated note … As the most goy of goyim, I never know if it’s Chanukah or Hanukkah. Of course as the year’s have passed by, I’m no longer sure if it’s Christmas or Xmas.
And here in Alberta, where we have a lot of Ukrainians, we celebrate Ukrainian Christmas, January 7th (I think that’s Twelfth Night, for those of you who are into Shakespeare) …
Perhaps we should come up with a generic celebratory greeting that goes something like, “Enjoy whatever it is you celebrate and enjoy during late December, early January, or any other time of the year that might encompass your traditions, beliefs and/or cultural preferences.”
Hey – I have the greeting! Maybe something as simple as a smile? In other words, whoever you are, I hope all is well with you and continues to be well. And if it isn’t well, I hope it gets that way damn quick!
