Skype is the wave of the future. Oh, and I love my webcam. Please don't ask me to disrobe while I'm on it -- I will cut you.

I am not putting up a Christmas tree this year. If I have my way, I will never put up another one again in my lifetime.

I never have room for one :-( and my friends that have one have a plastic tabletop one, which I don't consider a real tree. A real tree needs to be trimmed down so that the angel (or star) isn't jammed against the ceiling.

If I want one, I will go to the party store and buy a cutout I can stick on my wall. I can't get into the spirit of Christmas anyway. It's a children's holiday.

I was writing this long reply about how many ways Christmas is disappointing to me now, and it just got really depressing.

I still like eggnog lattes, though. Possibly because they're an experience that isn't from my childhood, so I'm not primed to expect more from it.

I would like to get away from the whole "Christmas is all about presents" thing. My dad was pretty good at making gift giving a guaranteed disappointment, and Garret seemed to put way too much emphasis on making out like a bandit every year.

I got the most out of Christmas the year I made a point of buying a bunch of gifts for charity. Those giving trees are great.
