I am thinking about

Just one foot in front of the other like Napoleon's winter retreat from Russia, Dr. Dave, and soon we'll be home free for another year.
 
I prefer to remember the holidays as a green, gold, and red blur, induced by some heavy drinking and marijuana smoking. Actually, with that method, I don't even know the holidays are here or remember any of the previous ones after I started that tradition.
 
I'm about to load the trunk of my car up with my office decorations. Plus, Secret Santa starts in the morning. It just builds from here and isn't over until Christmas. I love it.

Of course, when it is over, I'm glad it is over. I don't want anymore pie. I don't want anymore tinsel. I don't want anymore glitter, and lights, and tree ornaments. I want the nutcrackers and Santas and elves and reindeer in their boxes. I want the Christmas village packed up with all its 100s of parts and fake snow. I want the gel and snow and scene setters cleaned off the windows and put away. Because, gosh darnit, it is time for New Year's Eve and party hats, and horns, and beads, and noisemakers, and champagne.
 
However, this year, I'm going to the party at the local Buddhist meditation center. I have a need to know how Buddhist monks and nuns party hard.

I like the pretty lights, and the family stuff. I don't like shopping, though. I know that's weird! We throw a big party in the woods every year, and we hand out inexpensive toys to any kid who shows up. Everyone brings some food, and we eat and hang out for a few hours. My stepfather dresses up like Santa. We stopped exchanging gifts a few years ago, and that made Christmas so much better! Now the only gifts we give are at the party, but they're not specific gifts that you have to stress out over.

Yeah our family stopped exchanging gifts a few years ago as well. Now we just buy toys for the two nephews. Two of my brothers sometimes break the rules so I end up with some homemade fudge and a new shirt or CD/DVD.
 
Well, I got so mad at my boss today that I DECORATED THE OFFICE! WITH CHRISTMAS STUFF.
THAT'LL SHOW HIM!

Guess I got tired of being a grinch and thought I would exert my energies into something physical and artistic.

Every now and then I take all the stuff in my office home. Then, I realize I can't retire for another few years and it really wouldn't be smart to quit when I'm so close as it would be even longer before I could retire if I changed jobs. So, I bring some of it back.
I spend 8 hours a day in that office. Why shouldn't it be as pleasant as I can make it?

This year's theme is Santa's Workshop and happy holidays to all creatures great and small. There are a lot of elves and stuffed animals filling up my office and I still haven't unloaded all of my stuff and put it up.

Got a microphone thing you talk into and it alters your voice - called the elf microphone. Going to have fun with that at the office Christmas party this Friday. Been entertaining the cats with it this evening. They are only slightly amused.
 
I thought of your office el. I used to decorate for the holidays quite frequently-but usually I had someone doing it with me, which makes it more enjoyable for me. Kind of like a family decorating a fucking christmas tree I HATE YOU CHRISTMAS GODS THIS YEAR!
 
The best two things about Christmas is The Family Dinner, only because it's a fine art and done so well with mine and that it snows up my nose every year.

You're not playing Christmas music too are you?
 
Well, my employer frowns on people decorating offices or desks for the holidays let alone having personal items displayed. We have to sign an "MOU" to that effect.

With my family, the artful sit-down dinner happens at Thanksgiving. For Christmas, it's more about hors d'oeuvres and buffet-style meals. People just pick at the food all day.
