It's holiday time now and what comes to mind are arrangements of bright twinkling lights from a color wheel, sugary goodies of peppermint & allspice, shopping, numerous ladies wearing UGGS, and the cold days and nights. Also, the obvious and pain in the neck thing about the holidays is shopping for presents that will not go to me...I usually feel perplexed, challenged and irritated when I buy presents for others because I do not know what is the "perfect" gift for the recipient...I know the thought counts but fuck Hallmark; presents make us happy, especially if its something we wanted and got it for free. At least as a savior, I have Secret Santa and White Elephant events every year to relieve me of this petty stress I create by being overly conscientious. But seriously, all I really want is a hoola hoop in the nonliteral sense. Because for this holiday year, I just want my main man, friends and familia to be all good health-wise, emotionally content, and presently active in my socialization. No shady shams and tragedies. Please. That's my spirit for Christmas. However, if I could have any sky is the limit gift this year, it would be a trip around the world, to countries that have strong cultural traditions, street food vendors, and gorgeous natural surroundings. In the meantime, I will continue to travel vicariously through Anthony Bourdain's travels. Pizzease!
