... and of course, shortly after Christmas it's Chinese new year which is pretty much the same schtick - hang up a few decorations, get together with family, eat a lot, give the kids red envelopes. It's pretty nice if you enjoy your family.

Just like our new year...except the red envelopes.

That, and it lasts a week give or take.

The sphero BB-8 toy is neat, but rather pointless. It keeps the kids occupied at least.

Pro: shiny object
Movement distracts kids.

Cons: 150 bucks, unless you get a deal on it like I did.
BB-8 is fucking lame.

It's not as fun as it was as a kid, but it still means a good meal.  Plus plenty of football on the tube.

And this year I actually get Christmas Eve off from work as well as Christmas Day.  So, more opportunity to watch football, and more time to enjoy some wine.

Yay! Kids are on break. However, 2 of them picked up some sort of cold on the last day in school, so everybody is gonna be sick now! Yay!

Also, somebody sent me a Hickory Farms gift box. Yay! Full of sodium!  :glare:

Those Swiss Colony beef logs and cheese wheels make me feel like an artisan European farmer type, living the simple life in the bucolic countryside, minding my dairy cows and turning in Jews.

Denominational or non-denominational it nothing more than a commercially hyped bore.

It is whatever you make of it really. Intrinsically it means absolutely nothing at all.

Naw it's lost drowned in capitalism and the fast buck. Yes to the second sentence.

Ill take warmth that a long dead guy, from a mother who was hiding an affair, is a pigment of so much of "those" peoples mental distress.

Sounds like somebody didn't get the Guns of Navarone Action Playset for Christmas, either.
