My first mistake was deciding to listen to The Christmas Carol radio station. Hearing non-stop carols for 3 hours does something to a person. I didn’t notice it when I was working at HMV and hearing nothing but Christmas carols for weeks at a time. Maybe I’ve lost my immunity to it all. Reason would suggest that I get up and walk over to the radio and turn it off, but I’m hypontized by it. I’ve heard at least one Mariah Carey Christmas Carol every hour and I think that Feliz Navidad is actually giving me hives…
Work is very slow today. Message boards are empty, save a few lost souls debating the Spiderman 2 teaser, the Ghost loose in the UK and whether or not Return Of The King was actually good. I’ve already sent out my latest press release, and I’m left to count the hours to my 5 day holiday. I’m taking this time to reflect on the contradictions in my life. Like how last night I was thrilled to discover that there is actually a “Pottery Barn Kids,” but almost equally filled with glee at the prospect of purchasing a wristlet made of leather and stainless steel for boyfriend. These desires so don’t mesh, but I suppose are indicative of this “growing up” thing people talk about.
As the holiday season descends upon all of us, I would like to pass on my heart-felt best wishes and good tidings to blog readers near and far. Light snow is expected for Thursday. Christmas starts in the Czech Republic in a mere 6 hours and doesn’t end for me until the evening of the 28th. Somehow, my darlings, we will all find a way through and hopefully still be able to fit into our pants come January.
