Normally, nothing gets me happier than the Holidays. There's lots of food, pretty lights, and yay!presents. This year, though, I'm feeling mighty scrooge-like. This is my first Christmas in my new place back home, (2007 saw me living in Tokyo, and my brother came to visit and promptly got food poisoning from bad yakiniku), and I can't even bring myself to decorate.I was looking at the trees and ornaments at the mall the other day, and all I could think about was that no matter what I put up, I'd have to take it down again. Yesterday I spent 45 minutes on Ortigas trying to get across Edsa to Greenhills, and by the time I got to the Unitarian Universalist Christmas party, I was in a horrible mood. I hate Christmas lines, I hate Christmas traffic, and I hate having to shop for Christmas presents at the last minute.
In point of fact, the only good thing I can think of that happens during Christmas is this:
The yearly University of the Philippines Oblation Run, (where frat boys run around campus with their dangly bits showing), is bound to cheer any gloomy sister up. Looks like I'll be going back to my alma mater on December 17 (Wednesday next), for the Run + the Lantern Parade! :D

That old lady in the front row looks a little too happy.
JC- The one in blue, right? I noticed her, too. That was probably the most action she'd got in decades. :(
hahaha dangly bits! enough to make any christmas very merry indeed
but dude, they're so small you can barely see them most of the time :P
tet- That's true. I guess running naked in front of thousands of people = instant shrinkage. :D
yesss.. shrinkage, thats it... 'tis the season of being generous and giving the benefit of the doubt afterall...
