A photograph of my new Christmas tree. It’s an Italian stone pine. What he lacks in size, he makes up for in heart… and the willingness to spend Christmas next to me at my computer. I added some ornaments, personal things that mean a lot to me.

Fröhliche Weihnacht. Merry Christmas. Feliz Navidad. Joyeux Noël. Happy Holidays!

I’m celebrating Christmas early. I know it’s trendy now to deprecate the holiday, or at least delay any celebration of it until the last minute, but I’m one of those who lives for that time of year. Some love Halloween, and it’s a great holiday, but I’m a fat kid who’s fast approaching his winter weight thanks to butter cookies and cocoa. Happy Christmas!

I spent Thanksgiving sick with a cold, but I’m finally feeling better. I couldn’t wait to get my Christmas lights up, so I’m officially started Christmas early. I need to.

Almost Christmastime. Yes, I’m aware that it’s just November now, and I don’t care.
