…or, here at Casa Cross, NOT Christmas. See, Grace and I haven’t really been big on most holidays for years. We like Halloween alright and we DO have out Unthanksgiving dinner each year, but most of the rest of the well known holidays just mean a day off from work for Grace (and for me about three times a year). Christmas especially has been fading away fast the last few years. The reasons are many: The religious aspect is lost on us, the shopping crowds piss us off, we no longer have kids at home, we buy each other presents throughout the year anyway, my family is always doing separate things during the holidays(Grace is estranged from her family), the glut of sucky holiday programming on tv is annoying…
… and even if we felt like paying for & decorating a tree, Roscoe would most likely piss on it.
So this year, aside from giving my mom a bit of cash and Roscoe a package of hot dogs, we got zero presents for ourselves and anyone else. We sent out no cards, either. I expect we’ll spend Christmas Day sleeping in, watching movies and cooking/eating a bigass taco dinner. And feeding Roscoe his hot dogs:)
