Notes on writing a blog about Christmas

26 Dec

Christmas ended 22 minutes ago.

It slipped away between Hulu advertising breaks of 44 seconds and crept back to its cave to sleep off the epic bender of gift swapping and ham dinners.

The proper way to write a Christmas blog is to first wish everybody MERRY CHRISTMAS.

Then you say things like, ‘Oh, this Christmas was great’ and go on to list the gifts you received.

INCLUDING but not limited to

tent
books (one recounting survival techniques including how to use a magazine to maim an attacker)
beer stein
3 scarves
Transformers calendar
paper shredder
hat that resembles a raccoon

You are glad Christmas is over. Christmas makes you tired, anxious, happy, grumpy, nostalgic, gassy and ultimately, after yet another handful of peanut M&M’s, stupefyingly tired.

The only thing to do is crack a beer, watch an episode of South Park or two in a reclined position and write a Christmas blog.

      probably my favorite gift…although the wearing of the hat makes some people embarrassed to be seen with me…

    Pretty great gifts! Never knew a magazine could maim someone.

      apparently if you roll it tight and jam it in your attackers throat he or she will be maimed and flee the scene
