Bri. Bootstraps.

Edit: No, this is not what I celebrate.

Bootstraps can be worth celebrating.... Bri, stop it. We love you. Come on over here, but drive carefully.

Bootstraps are falling to pieces. Can we get some new bootstraps over here?

I feel ya, Bri...but monster is right: we love you!

Not my favorite time of year: being broke and a procrastinator does not bode well at christmastime. BUT, will be with all my family tomorrow and it's always so much fun. All the nieces and nephews are home, so will see the grown kids and the little ones. Sis-in-law's family comes too and they're great people.

So, I guess I celebrate family and laughing.

Hey Bri, I'm with you there--this has always seemed to be a sucky season for me even when there's no reason for it to be. But fuck other people, because everybody's loved here on the Cellar. Let's take a shit-ton of Vitamin D together and have some ice cream, eh?

Bri - we love you. I wish I could squeeze you into our triple room in Glasgow in January, but we'll sure as hell make contact with you via the Cellar. Hang in there. Remember the Courage Cock when you need it.

Shame Ohio's all the way the heck over there, we could mope together ... I'm not deeply mopey at this point, but here I am on Christmas Eve, watching stupid judge shows ... I gave brief consideration to heading out to the grocery store, but I had that thought a couple of hours ago and my enthusiasm has waned. I don't really have to get anything, anyway.

I have to get around to wrapping the presents for my friend's kids as I've been invited to dinner tomorrow.

It's been a terrible week at work and the only shining light of it is that I'm not due back until Monday.

I celebrate Solstice, and the secular chocolate and gift giving bits of Christmas.

It's nice having a secret family living in the cellar (not that everyone would understand, mind you)

thanks, all.

I think bears got it right.

If you're very quiet, you can hear the chains jingling.
