Once in college, I was part of a huge snowball fight where everyone was in their undergarments. I was in boxers, socks and boots.

The FIL sent us a holiday check yesterday. Most of it will go to catch up on bills, with a little skimmed off the top for a few 12/25 treats.
I also had a nasty attack of sleep-deprived stupid yesterday and would have overdrawn my account if mr_cleome hadn't gone to the C.U. when it opened and done an emergency cash infusion.
So the operative phrase this joyous season...?

I find myself secretly wishing that the anti-obsesity movement would successfully change depictions of Santa Claus so that he is no longer overweight, if only because I think the countermovement to "Put the Mass back in Chrismas" would be amusing.

^Berkeley Breathed was way ahead of Eryk. There was a Bloom County strip where a slender, yuppified Santa says, "Had to lose some weight to fit into my new Saab."

Shaved my beard down to a goatee today. Might not last long, not looking forward to having to learn how to use razors and shaving cream.

I think Santa should have a built like Superman but with a nice beer belly. Instead of 'fat and jolly', more like a 'conquering hero who enjoyed the spoils of war too much'.
Which, incidently, is how I want to look.

And, of course, nothing captures the true spirit of Christmas like overindulging on the spoils of war after vanquishing your enemies!

Anti-obsesity, Cobie?
Where would this board be without its own personal Legion of Obses(s)ives?
Now be quiet and eat this Festivus cake. I baked it special just for you! Also, you have to have some of the ice cream or everyone will think you're one of those no-good Atheists!

So Santa would look like a Chris Ware superhero?

Last night (or tonight, depending how you look at it), between Christmas Eve services, two of my brother tenors misheard me when I said that after the Christmas morning service, I was going home to mash rutabagas. They both thought I said--something else. I think this is the birth of a new euphemism!

I almost never start "Happy Birthday" at parties because I invariably pitch it too high for most people.
