It's that time...

Every year about this time I'm engulfed by the glow of Christmas. My holiday state of mind kicks into high-gear when we have our first stressed out "how do we juggle the two families" scheduling discussion. I find Christmas to be a travel and scheduling nightmare, not to mention a shallow, materialistic, shopping splooge-fest. The only time I find peace is the moment of blissful obliviousness that directly follows my consumption of my eighth or ninth high octane eggnog at the annual in-law's gift exchange. Oh, the holidays.
