I hadn't planned on celebrating Christmas this year. For starters, I have not accepted Jesus into my life nor do I believe in a deity of any kind. For the main course, I am also still really pissed about the creationism thing, and I am taking this out on Christians. And for finishers, Christmas is for kids, and I don't have any this year. Not to mention, my usual present-buyer, gift-wrapper is out of the country.
And then I realized that even if I boycott the day itself, right before Christmas, at the time of the solstice on which this holiday is based, I am visiting two households full of nieces and nephews where if I don't want to figure as Aunt Grinch I will be forced to come across.
Why I can't stop smoking: I have to buy wrapping paper.

This blog used to be called "Why I Can't Stop Smoking." Well, I did stop smoking. Now I need to stop drinking. The only thing is, every day there seems to be a reason why I can't just yet. It worked before, so—here goes! Today's reason

i could have ordered online you know....would have been cheaper and earier...and the shit comes wrapped...boxes are wrapping paper.
Hey, there's still time....
I can't stop because I'm too worried about your arduous, partial-transit-strike quest for wrapping paper.
Then of course comes New Year's, with people expecting healthy resolutions & all... too much stress to even think of quitting.
