the gift of the magi merry christmas y'all! sad thing i won't be home for the holidays. the forks are coming but i won't even be able to spend christmas eve with them. i'll be at work till halfway through christmas morning and if am lucky enough i may only be making an hour skip and by the stroke of midday i'll be in pampanga in time for christmas lunch. i may already be suffering from finnegan bell's disease by this time and chances are, the folks won't be awake to join me for christmas lunch even. tough luck, doug, but i know i only hav myself to blame for ma hood of choice this year, though that's really not an option i gave maself. anyhow, i have conditioned myself since. this year is one of irony. not one in the flesh at the most sentimental hours of the season. and the funniest part, the calls i will be taking aren't mine. but i will be wearing a smile because is know i am not all there is at christmas. merry christmas to you and your family y'all.December 19, 2005 in postcards from olympus
