Packages, Boxes and Bags

I did some Christmas shopping yesterday, which was a nice break from the daily monotony. I hummed Christmas songs in my head and noticed all the Christmas things hanging around, and thought about how amazing it was that people still put up the decorations. It's an act of theatre that I appreciate, setting the stage for a show that won't really happen this year, but will happen nonetheless.

"Maybe Christmas," I thought, "doesn't come from a store. Maybe Christmas, perhaps, means doing the same thing we did last year because no matter what the f*ck happened this year it's still f*cking Christmas so get those G.D. lights out and let's do this."
