Just writing to say that I hope everyone is having a good Christmas or whatever they celebrate or just a good day off, if that's what you do on December 25th. Christmas isn't terribly exciting for me because I've never celebrated Christmas, except that my dad usually cooks a lot (because there's nothing else to do) and we hope there's a good film opening that day. It's actually Hanukkah right now, too, but since it's the third night, Mum and I have gotten rather tired of it and just lit the menorah and did other things. It's hard for it to be the holidays without my dad and my brother here. Especially because my mum is a terrible cook and she's exhausted recipes she can actually do and insists that I shouldn't cook because... I don't know. So we ordered Chinese tonight and watched Christmas specials on television and made sarcastic remarks.
Did you know that many popular Christmas songs were actually written by Jewish people? Including but not limited to: "The Christmas Song" (you know... the one about chestnuts and mistletoe), "White Christmas," "Rudolf the Red Nosed Reindeer," and "Silver Bells." I'm not really certain how that works, because I don't think that I could write a convincing song about Christmas, but I guess if you've got to make money, "S'vivon" isn't going to get much radio play in December. Not that I blame the radios much. That song is kind of annoying and most of the ones about Christmas are better.
I will probably actually send gifts tomorrow. I'm sorry. I suck.
