We got a light scab of snow overnight, as if the freezing sky skinned its knee and bled frost

Okay. So, there you go. The token Xmas Day entry. Make of it what you will.

I hope whatever you made of your day was good.

You sent me a card. It was a good thing this season.

Christmas is an awfulness that compares favorably with the great London plague and fire of 1665-66. No one escapes the feelings of mortal dejection, inadequacy, frustration, loneliness, guilt and pity. No one escapes feeling used by society, by religion, by friends and relatives, by the utterly artifical responsiblities of extending false greetings, sending banal cards, reciprocating unsolicated gifts, going to dull parties, putting up with acquaintances and family one avoids all the rest of the year...in short, of being brutalized by a 'holiday' that has lost virtually all of its original meanings and has become a merchandising ploy for color tv set manufacturers and ravagers of the woodlands. ~ Harlan Ellison (1972)

Having just returned from a long drive, an overnight stay for Xmas, a long drive back, another Xmas "celebration", all I can say is ... A-fucking-men.
