(*Happy December, Folks.  Its neither cold nor warm nor temperate enough for my liking.  I'm waiting for the snow to come while I get in the holiday mood.  Christmas and the New Year are looming just ahead.  Are you ready?*)

Oh December, the wondorous month of spending every last penny saved over the past few months.  Spending it away amoungst millions of pushy, impatient, and more than a bit rude customers who are also in "the holiday mood."  The weather is cold.  Maybe not freezing this year, but colder than prefered.  The radio and television stations were obducted and now voice the corny and rediculously squeeky voices of children or low bellow of Burl Ives.  Rock, Metal, Country, even Hip Hop is a thing of the past. 

But you love it.  You love christmas lights (and even count the number of houses decorated with them as you drive along the wintry roads.)  You love seeing a tree in almost every home, because you know that it took them the same hour and a half time to pick out the perfect tree and then twice that time to decorate it just right.  Even though you had to wrestle with a rather snappy old lady over the last Playstation 3 you love that old lady.  You know that she wants Christmas to be just perfect as does the rest of the world.  And thinking about the inevitable feat of one man flying around the world on a bunch of flying reindeer seems funny to you, but pretending you believe in Santa Clause just brings you back to when you were a kid and could hardly sleep on Christmas night. 

(*Merry PreChristmas.*)
