Oh, yes, a very pretty combination if that is all they give you in your cell. I’m going to have a Merry Agnostic Holiday. ---

Really? Are you saying that you’re going to have a perfectly devoted Christian Christmas, only also thinking about the impossibility of knowing God’s true nature? No? Oh, what you mean is that you’re going to have a _secular_ Christmas. \*Seeeecular. \* Repeat with me. Learn your words. KPop is pop music made in Korea. ---

Dammit, you made me watch “Gangnam Style” again. I hope you’re proud of yourself. I like root beer. ---

So did I…when I was twelve. It’s embarrassing to see an adult clinging desperately to their childhood. I wish I could sleep in this morning. ---

You lazy sluggard! I brought my snow boots to wear at work and it hasn’t snowed a single time since I brought them. ---

Winter just started today/ Like it’s never going to snow in the next three months? Get real!!! I had a nice talk with the bus driver last night. ---

So you ignored the rule about not talking with the driver, which might distract him, resulting in a wreck killing or injuring numerous people. That must have been some important chat. I haven’t ridden on a bus since the early 70s. ---

So what’s stopping you? Water comes out free in every faucet, and a cup costs about #2.00 at a discount store. Holiday shopping done. YES! ---

That’s not very kind, what about those that can’t afford to shop for gifts? It’s people like you that have to commercialize the whole damn season. I finally baked some cookies tonight. ---

By now you are probably wishing you’d procrastinated on that a little longer. My back has been hurting for a couple of days. Lower back if you must know. ---
