it's xmas and it's busy. so many dinners to go to, and so much eating. i think I've gained the weight that I've lost in the last two months. Oh well. I suppose there's still time to lose some weight and get in shape. By post-new-year's, I will have a belly full of days of sweet desserts, gravy and potatoes, and poultry of all kinds - turkey and turkey.
This year we aren't doing a gift exchange so that everyone's pocketbooks will be that much happier. Too many expenses lately, especially around this time of year.
Having said that, xmas is the only time of year in which neighbours compete with each other to spend the most on hydro bills with blinding xmas lights. I'm glad I don't live near anyone who has an xmas light fetish. It would be too blinding and annoying - wouldn't be able to go to sleep due to all that glow-in-the-dark tackiness. Mind you, I like xmas lights - I like to admire the different designs etc, but truly, to live across the street (the worst), or next to a house like that would be hard on my sleeping pattern.
Oh, and yes, notice how I keep using "xmas" instead of "christmas?" Well, I'm doing this on purpose. Why? Because the seasonal traditional meaning of Christmas (Christ's birthday) is slowly losing meaning to most of the world (or it seems that way). So, now christmas is now the generic xmas. - and it's easier to type up.

War Xmas and all the overeating and money well wasted.
War the Death of Christmas as it is too religous for sane people
War the Death of Christ.... oops done that. Maybe he'll soon ressurect and take the Jews with him. Mel Gibson will be happy.
