it's the most wonderful time of the year

Sometimes i think we put so much hype and expect so much from Christmas that when Christmas finally comes after 3 months of non-stop buildup, it's almost impossible for Christmas to live up to what it was expected to. It isn't quite the spectacular circus we thought it would be, there really is no incredible wave of Spirit (save for the hackneyed carols always playing in the background of elevators, malls and the such) and that leads to an inevitable sense of disappointment.

Eve of was pretty uneventful and peaceful this year,
We came, caroled, conquered.
H2Hs with my best girls before we called it a night in the a.m.

More on our outheartlandish Christmas day a little later.





Where did Christmas go?
Came and went far too quickly
Oh, where'd Christmas go?

I need to stop with the bloody haikus.
My lack of poetic flair is astounding heh heh.
