some thoughts on christmas

thoughts:

• being jewish during it is no fun

• a lot of television shows mock people believing in santa, and children also watch these shows and I do think it should be made illegal because I want to see twenty-four-year-olds still believing in santa, and no, not for the magic of it all, but because it is so ridiculous that is would be pretty funny

• people should stop instant messaging me christmas wishes because I am too snooty and/or evangelical about my judaism to just say "you too" so I take a while explaining that even though I am jewish, I will still wish you a merry christmas but do not forget that I am jewish and I am making you feel guilty for not wishing me a happy chanukah

• there is nothing to do

• we don't even have a fireplace so I can't even fake it (well we have one but it's in a room that is out of commission)

• that is all
