Merry, Happy, Jolly, Good Times to you, my wonderful, loyal readers. Please associate whichever adjective works with whichever holiday you celebrate during the last weeks of December. I’m not going anywhere near religion, and have no interest in starting a blood feud with somebody because I said Merry Christmas, when it was so blatantly obvious that they are agnostic, and thus do not celebrate the pagan ritual of Christmas, but they do buy a tree and give gifts on the 25th. Seriously, what-ever to all this holiday nonsense. So here’s my no-nonsense wish to you all: enjoy the time you spend with your family and friends, give and get great gifts, don’t drink eggnog and drive, and think fast and make your new years plans, because it’s coming up way too fast.

Oh, alright fine, here’s a real holiday tiding: Merry Happy Chrismuhanukwanzakkah!

There, happy now?

Also… Please excuse the use of the picture with a Christmas tree in it. It is by no means an attempt to show favoritism to that holiday, I posted it merely because I’m in it, and I love pictures of me. So it’s all good Mom, I still love the Hanukah and all related Jewish activites. Next year I”ll remember to take a blurry picture of me with a menorah.

Bangarang!
