so for the past month i've watched "elf" at least once a week, blown out my ear drums rocking out to "twisted sister's christmas" album, and drank a ton of leine's fireside nut brown ale...my new favorite holiday brew! i've paid my christmas dues! happy holidays and a happy, healthy new year to everyone! i don't care what you celebrate...christmas, chanukah, kwanza...remember it's not about the gifts! cherish your family and friends, your memories of 2008, the fun you've had...not the material things! happiness is worth more than anything in the world...remember that! everyone be well and enjoy!
