Happy Festivus
As someone who is the product of an interfaith marriage, I appreciate the OC's contribution the holiday lexicon: Chrismukkah. Even though I'm a Bright and don't have much attachment to any of the winter holidays, I do have a string of lights hung up in my living room. For me, it's more about marking the passage of time. This year is coming to a close and a new one will soon begin. I think it's more than appropriate to take a little time out from the banalities of life, hang out with people close to you, and indulge in your chosen version of merry-making. To paraphrase Scrooge, you keep the season your way and I'll keep it in mine.
I got a phone call from my sister a little while ago, who breathlessly informed me that she received an acceptance letter from William Mitchell College of Law. A big congratulations to her. I'll have to begin teaching her the secret handshake. And I should start arranging the requisite midnight initiation rites. Let's see, where did I put that ceremonial blade? And does anybody know where I can buy a goat for cheap?
