Assorted Christmas day thoughts
-Last night driving to my Aunts house we drove by a comfort inn that said couples named Mary and Joseph stay free…I wonder if that could lead to some sort of discrimination lawsuit
-Even at the age of 24 there is still something magical about going to sleep and waking up with a pile of presents.
-These presents are far more magical before they are unwrapped because they can hold absolutely anything
-I feel somewhat awkward accepting presents from family as I usually buy myself random things I want. At this point in my life I feel like I’m able to truly feel the nature of giving by understanding that it really is the thought that counts. I am literally happy with anything given to me, particularly things I wouldn’t think of buying for myself
- I just decided I want an ipod filled with all classical music so I’m going to go get an ipod tomorrow and have someone in the “classical know” to fill it.
- Seeing my dog Percy try to get at his stocking is really cute
-Seeing my cat Oreo get high off of catnip is also really cute-Seeing family all together is pretty rare and special these days so I don’t have too strong an urge to gamble
-Of course I don’t gamble only when I have urges because I am a professional so I probably should put in some hours today
-I don’t believe in New Year’s resolutions, I am constantly seeking random improvements so to choose an arbitrary date to do so seems contrived
-I saw the movie Juno and didn’t love it, I much prefer to be entertained by movies and inspired by the characters than to simply observe some quirky personalities getting into mild trouble and digging out. This is perhaps because I see real people getting into far more trouble than a 16 year old pregnant girl.
-My 28 year old brother can touch his nose with his tongue and his wife can bounce her chin in a funny fashion
Yes I am actually jewish but celebrate Christmas because it is fun
And lastly, a holiday gift to my readers. A 5 dollar transfer on Full Tilt for the person who emails me one sentence that best describes the meaning of Christmas in a funny way. I will announce the winner within three days and post a compilation of my favorites.Happy holidaysÂ

omgomg 5 dollars!
merry christmas. IT MEANS JESUS WAS BORN TODAY. WE CELEBRATE HIS BIRTHDAY.
you celebrating christmas makes NO sense if you’re jewish. the only thing that seperates jews from regular christians is the fact that you DON’T BELIEVE that Jesus has been born yet. How can you “celebrate” the birth of Jesus if you are Jewish? Seems like you’re in it for the commercialized business.

You should correct yourself and note that your celebrating Christmas in its original form: a Pagan winter solstice festival to celebrate that the days were getting longer and the nights shorter.

Christmas is the holiday when regular people get to act like rednecks. They put multi-colored lights all over their homes, stick fake deer in their yard, and drink way too much alcohol.
