El Chris, Decembery Sun, 28 Dec 2008 01:19:34 -0600 http://www.lightblog.com/member/elchris?xjMsgID=74613 http://www.lightblog.com/member/elchris?xjMsgID=74605 Many families mark the beginning of the holiday season by doing something gay like hanging garland from every goddamn post in the house three days after Halloween. I think that blows. In MY family, the start of the holiday season is when my mother makes me put the booze back in the fridge ("Just for Christmas" she pleads) and asks me once again if I'll be joining a help program for drinkers. Then, with tears in her eyes and a quiver in her voice, she asks, "You're not writing our Christmas letter again this year... are you?" No, Mother, I will not be getting help this year, and yes, mother dear, I am writing the Christmas letter again. Read on, friends and family. Read on.

I love my car. A lot. Not many grad students have a Volvo, but I'm one of the privileged few who has the luck of driving a snobby liberal car while listening to MPR on the way to Grad School. I rule.

Or, if you're feeling not-quite-as-generous, you could buy me this. But the Diana looks like so much fun!
