holiday cheer

OK. I am going to go out on a limb here, but it seems to me that a meme that has questions like "How do you decorate your Christmas Tree? and "Do you open a gift on Christmas Eve?" and lacks questions like "Do you exchange gifts every night of Hanukkah?" or "Do you puree the potatoes for your latkes or just grate them?" might as well just go ahead and have the balls to call itself a Christmas meme rather than a holiday meme.

In other news, I am looking very hot today in a new sweater and new jeans. Note to self: buy more clingy sweaters.

My task for today is to try to be less bitchy. As you can see, it's not going so well.

I like traditional Christmas carols. But I don't need to hear them every time I enter a public space with piped music, every day from late November to early January.

Definitely. Anything that becomes too frequent (or, needless to say, is imposed upon you without your input) loses its specialness and impact. Or worse, becomes something you dread.

Though stores and malls don't tend to play the stuff I'd like to hear. Time to pull out the Chanticleer Christmas CD. Now that's my idea of cool: ancient music done a cappella by amazingly good voices.
