I’m so glad it’s Friday. I have to be honest, Christmas isn’t a big deal to me anymore. It hasn’t been in quite a while. Probably since my dad died. Definitely since my mom’s been gone (she insisted that holidays be observed; poor mom, she wanted a Donna Reed world, but was stuck with a bunch of ungrateful heathen kids). But once today is over, I have a five-day weekend coming up, and I need it, bad. Even better, that’s followed by a two-day week, and then a four-day weekend. That’s all I care about right now, so let’s hurry up and get this goddamn week over with already!
