I know, it would be so horrible if someone took one of your threads off track-

All I have to say is

MERRY CHRISTMAS!!!!!

I wouldn't go so far as to say "bah humbug" (mostly because it's a cliched no-no in my industry) ... but it's hard to really embrace Christmas when you're working Christmas Eve and Christmas. I don't mind it that much, but it gets irritating to watch the whole world around me come to a halt while I still need to get &%^$ done and get to work. That said, I enjoy picking out gifts for people and watching them unwrap them.

Here's my favorite Christmas song this year:

I like it alright but it is way overblown IMHO.
