It’s almost surreal how quickly the holiDAZE go from Thanksgiving to Christmas, from stuffing our faces to now needing to scramble and find gifts for everyone you like, and some people you don’t’. Over this last holiday weekend, I was watching Saturday Night Live, and Chris Rock made it all very clear. It is a bit, well, selfish, making Jesus’s birthday a gift giving occasion for us commoners, for those of us who are not Jesus, so, EVERYONE. For all of you who know me, and for those of you who don’t, I am spiritual, not religious, (queue snickering or general bullshit- o- meter), but seriously churches scare me, and I don’t like cults. I like to think of myself as a powerful being full of energy and light, and I pray about that sometimes, (either that or its exact bumper sticker we had on the Subaru growing up, that we found at the local health food store where we went to buy granola and other hippie essentials ;0). We have since graduated to British engineering, (thank god), but the mint green Subaru holds a special place in my soul maybe even as a messiah. So looking into this Christmas to come, let’s talk gifts.
