Festivish

This is our nod to a holiday with associations ranging on a scale from annoyance to sad melancholy.  For E it represents grieving the loss of a child, complete abandonment by family, and lonely isolation.  For me, it conjures up mere anti-semitism and frenzied materialism, not much more.  I’m trying to keep up spirits with festivish things.

We’re headed for the traditional Chinese restaurant later; not many are open on xmas around these parts, being devoid of a Jewish population.  Tomorrow we’re just making hors d’oeuvre-like things to snack on with drinks.  E has a couple of gifts from YT to open.  There is Renn-music in the background.  Somehow that Crusades and Inquisition flavor just seems to enhance the season.  😉

Me, cynical?  Nah… nothing a little Tsingtao can’t dispel.
