Blast this Christmas music. It's joyful and triumphant...

So, this Christmas will be my first Christmas away from friends and family. It won't be so bad, as I have to work both days. Yes, folks there is no holiday in broadcast news.

Someone very close to me has given me a gift which he gave me a week ago...I'll tell you, it's the hardest thing not to just rip that package open and see what wonderful presents he's gotten me!!! I look at it everyday with lustful, hungry eyes, hoping that it will some how speak to me, giving me some type of hint as to what's inside! Every, single, day, my friend reminds me "REVREE, STEP AWAY FROM THE BOX!"

Yes, if you were wondering, I did get him a gift too...but because the UNITED STATES POSTAL SERVICE sucks, his package is lost someplace in Colorado! That's right, it's buried in 10 feet of snow in the mountains, I imagine. I'll tell you what, those "confirmation numbers" you get when you send a package, are worthless!!!! They don't confirm shit!

What about that saying, "Neither snow nor rain nor heat nor gloom of night stays these couriers from the swift completion of their appointed rounds" YEAH RIGHT! I swear, if that package doesn't make it I'll...I'll...I'll.. I'll probably do nothing but it will really upset me! GRRRRROWL!

Anyway, I finally had to put my special little package away until Christmas, so it would stop taunting me.

My mother has said she will call me when everyone at home is about to unwrap gifts...I guess I'll sit and listen as all the kids scream and everyone has a great time without me. Then I'll hang up, go pour myself a bottle of really harsh wine and watch The Grinch....

MERRY CHRISTMAS, ONE AND ALL!!!
