slogging toward the holidaze

[chanter1944]

This post brought to you by working as a customer service rep during November's latter half and all of December, plus the general takeover of radio and television by sleigh bells, kitchy lyrics, and exhortations to celebrate the seeeeeason with this, that, and the other. :s Seriously. Somebody wake me up when the all-pervading commercial cheer and scramble is over and done with. New year is much more my thing anyway.

I don't intend to dunk on Christmas the actual holiday. I'm fine with both religious and secular observances. I just wish it were a lot less in one's face. For two months.
