Christmas Eve

[fencerm2]

Wow.  In just one week we will be on the last day of 2009.  And I am ok with this.  While 2009 was certainly not a good year for ME, I have a number of friends for whom it has been far worse.  The year's end will be well celebrated.  I am hoping that 2010 will be a much better year for us all!

But tonight is Christmas Eve.  Now as a Jew, this has always been just another holiday that afforded me a day off.  But the spirit of the season - not the commercialism and the endless BAD music - I'm talking about the spirit of generosity and peace and harmony - has always made me feel content.  I am working on a positive attitude, looking forward to a coming good year - for everyone!

May all of you have peace.  I hope that whatever holiday you may choose to celebrate - be it Christmas, Channukkqah, Yule, Festivus, Kwanzaa, or the Pasta Feast of the Flying Spaghetti Monster (because there needs to be SOME holiday for the FSM) - I hope that you have a good one, filled with love and peace and happiness and all that other sappy stuff.

Thank you for being a part of my life.

I have this feeling that FSM should be worshipped by sprinkling parmesan on things.

At the same time, I'm reminded of Mr. Katie's re-flowering ceremony.

I believe in the great religion of presents. The mid-winter-gifting-season. Giftmas, if you will.

To give, to receive, to create and destroy (wrapping paper is my art) and party with friends in the darkest time of the year? Yah, that I can get behind.

Ironically we are having a pasta fest tonight. We do the Feast of the Seven Sauces (because too many people hate fish to do the feast of the seven fishes). In a way we're celebrating the great FSM too!

Oh, hey, if you'd like we have a huge New Year's party. you're more than welcome to come up for it!
