Well, it's December and Christmas in only a mere 22 days away. Stately Famous Manor is decorated appropriately and the boys are having fun w/ trying to 'redecorate' the tree. That said, i'm still not in the holiday frame of mind quite yet.
Actually, we were out at Woodfield Mall yesterday and I found myself pretty disgusted that the big 'Meet Santa' deal in the middle of the place was entirely sponsored by the horrible looking movie 'Fred Claus'. Seriously. Movie posters everywhere and a big freaking video screen right in back of Santa playing an endless loop of Vince Vaughn line-dancing w/ a bunch of elves. Co-opting the holiday for a movie tie-in is one thing...but a crappy flick like that?! The whole thing struck me in a bad way like a stocking full of coal to the head.
As I actually love this time of year (including the crass commercialism that comes along with it), i'll get over it. I may even try to post up w/ my annual Holiday Mix, should my lazy ass get around to it. So, as always, stay tuned for mucho holiday fun and other useless pap.
Naughty? Nice? I don't give a crap...everybody is invited. Ho.

Oh man, that Fred Claus movie looks horrific.
I like the title of this post and reminds me of what a geek I am. I was in Starbucks the other day, knitting, and overheard the baristas talking. They couldn't figure out the movie with the french girl and the line, "do you have Christmas in France?" They were going on and on about it for at least five minutes. Finallu, unsolicited, I shouted out, "Better Off Dead!" and one of the baristas squealed with delight, "that's it!"
I polished my nails on my shirt collar, in victory, and got back to work.
