I entered a Christmas contest recently, to be crowned queen of Christmas, and I want to win very very very badly. My entry was fucking amazing, so if I lose, it’s because RIGGED! FAKE NEWS! OBAMA! <\/p>\n\n\n\n
But if I win, it will be the single greatest achievement of my life and I will be able to finally just die. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
I should have put that in my entry. “If you let me win this, then you will be giving me the relief and release that I so desire: the sweet embrace of death. Help me finally end this miserable charade.”<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Anyway. I don’t like Christmas because I’m religious. (lol religion.) Mostly I just borrow and steal from all kinds of cultures and traditions and religions, to make my own thing. I mean I DID grow up Catholic, so there is some strong Catholic Christmas stuff woven into every ounce of my being. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
But besides that, I like making it more about paganism and Yule and the winter solstice and all these old rituals and observances that stand apart from Jesus and Christianity. (Note that I super love Christmas hymns.) and obviously<\/em> there’s the whole consumerism part, which I also participate in (Santa Claus etc). I even like giving foil-wrapped chocolate coins, like the Hanukkah gelt. <\/p>\n\n\n\n Basically I’m just a thief and heathen and I don’t even care. I love Christmas and I will always love Christmas and it doesn’t matter how or why. Just let me be. <\/p>\n\n\n\n I’ll send you one of my infamous christamas cards, if you want. Just tell me your address. You won’t be sorry. <\/p>\n\n\n\n (You’ll be sorry) <\/p>\n\n\n\n And ALSO while the name Yule log might SOUND gross, it’s actually very delicious and you should eat my log. <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" I entered a Christmas contest recently, to be crowned queen of Christmas, and I want to win very very very badly.
