Kenzaburo Oe, winner of the Nobel Prize in literature, once said something in Japanese, which I do not speak. I can only assume, therefore, that it was something poignant about Christmas.
My Christmas has been somewhat disappointing, as WOS refused to get me what I truly wanted:
I mean, the "Forever Lazy" even has a flap in the back so you can, y'know, do your business without excessive inconvenience! WOS thinks they're stupid and embarrassing, though. She did, however, get me a gift card to a major retailer, so I may be able to find one there.
Still, it's not about the gifts, right? It's about family and togetherness and watching movies and eating Chinese take-out (well, for the New York Jewish contingent, anyway). Wherever you may find yourself this holiday season, here's hoping you got whatever you wanted and enjoyed a pleasant and peaceful day.
