Glory be to God in the highest and on earth, peace, good will toward men. Lo, I send unto you tidings of great joy!
Weeks of yuletide anticipation will culminate tomorrow in the arrival of my most favorite season--the Christmas-New Year's-Birthday Trifecta! The next few weeks bring a whirlwind of excitement and merriment and other kinds of -ments, and I am breathless, nay, giddy with anticipation!
My joy in this most celebratory season is heightened by the fact that, beginning tomorrow at 12:00 noon, I will be off work for, count them, 10 and one half glorious days!
And how will I pass the time?
Saturday, December 23—Host Christmas party at my house for charmingly quirky and lovably ill-tempered relatives (my side)
Sunday, December 24—Travel to Tennessee for Christmas gathering with genuinely kind and pleasant relatives (Charles the Great’s side)
Monday, December 25—Return to Arkansas to accommodate Charles’ dreadful and wretched work schedule
Tuesday-Thursday, December 26-28—Wallow
Friday, December 29-Saturday, December 30—Fellowship with college roomies! Hooray!
December 30-January 1—New Year’s Eve in NEW ORLEANS!
January 1—Return to Arkansas
January 2-5—Work.
But wait—January 6-9—Birthday retreat to Tunica for spa treatments, shopping, and feasting on complimentary cuisine!
After my all-too-brief sabbatical, I will rejoin you, refreshed and rejuvenated and ready once again to analyze, critique, and write bad poetry.
God rest ye, merry gentlemen and –women!
