I’m starting to come to the realization that my Christmas “break” may be even busier than when I am in the middle of a big fat semester of work/classes. What with Supreme Commander LAN parties, trying to patch up friendships that I always seem to keep neglecting, or partaking in the yearly family rituals associated with Christmas I’m having trouble even remembering it all. It’s more stress than an Accounting exam. It starts out innocent enough. “Hey, buddy! I’m back in A2 for Christmas. You want to hang out while I’m in town?” To which I reply, “You bet your sweet Christmas ham I do”, in that Dr. Cox from Scrubs slightly arrogant but still endearing sort of way. Then before I know it I’m booked solid thru New Year, left with precious little time to play Twilight Princess, check the weather in Honolulu, or do any number of other things on my Wii. But, I guess it comes with the territory. When you are as cool and popular as I am (insert involuntary snort of laughter here.) it’s hard to find time to relax and contemplate what the whole thing is all about. Pssst! It’s not getting presents. For all my griping I love it all the same. Every holiday I take a picture of the table, the tree, the meal, and the occasional person or dog if they happen to be blocking one of my beloved inanimate objects. I always start out with these grand intentions of posting them on my website, but I never do. I’m feeling this year might be different. I might actually get something going instead of petering out after about 2 minutes of trying to get the browser to open while I would rather be eating delicious snacks and playing with all of my new stuff.
