Io Saturnalia!
OK, I really do celebrate Christmas, but I like the idea of Saturnalia. Misrule and license, but only within limits? That's what brings me to Rocky.
Since I'm jobless, I'm not doing much for Christmas this year. There are a lot of friends I would normally worry about getting stuff for. (Am I gift-exchanging with Sean this year? What about Dale? Or Nicole?) This time, I'm just getting stuff for Christine and our immediate families.
If you like making donations in lieu of gifts, my favorite charities are Doctors Without Borders and the San Diego Food Bank. This year I actually put my holiday donation budget into Toys for Tots because Christine's work was collecting for them.
Sorry for not keeping up my end of the usual Christmas consumer orgy. I'll get you next time, I imagine.
