In all my 25 years, I have spent every Christmas with nearly every member of my large immediate family.
Not this Christmas.
For the first time in 25 years, I can't make the trip home to my parent's house in Kansas. I'm kinda sad about it to say the least. Even though every time I see them they usually just end up pissing me off...I still rely on my family for all of their wit, brutal honesty, and dysfunction. So, I'm very sad about not being able to spend the holiday with them to say the least. I seriously started crying today at work when the Christmas music was playing. It was pathetic. And I still have 26 days to go. Fortunately I have a wonderful fiancee and dog to spend the holiday with. And we might even buy Jackie a hilarious doggy Christmas outfit. So that's some compensation.
On a lighter note, the following Christmas songs WILL NOT make you sad. Download them. They really do exist.
Christmas in the Hollis by Run DMC
Hark the Herald Angels Sing hummed by the Peanuts gang
One More Sleep 'Til Christmas by Kermit the Frog
Barenaked Ladies w/ Sarah McLachlan- God Rest Ye Merry Gentlemen
and lastly...
Please Daddy Don't Get Drunk this Christmas by John Denver
hugs.

I hear ya, Wiz. This year will be my 2nd holiday season away from my family. I know, I know, I'm a Heeb and shouldn't give a shit about your lord's birthday, but I grew up as a Goya and my family is such to this day. Maybe I don't believe in all that baby in a manger stuff anymore, but I still celebrate Sitting-Under-a-Dying-Tree-Opening-Gifts-You-Don't -Want-While-Eating-Candy-Out-of-a-Sock Day. And, I really miss being around my crazy loud family this time of year. Luckily, you've got a fiance, a dog, and a Dan to help you start your own family holiday traditions.
