‘Tis the season to be furious.
Update: I will be spending the day shopping for my Polish neighbors’ two dogs and two cats. for the past few years, I’ve really enjoyed the Polish Christmas Eve tradition of Wigilia (pronounced vig-EEL-ya.) Traditionally, this is a 12-course meatless meal (that includes fish, which makes it meatful, in my opinion) that breaks a fast as you wait for the birth of Jesus. For me, it’s just a late dinner that starts as the first star becomes visible in the sky. After the meal, you exchange your gifts – pets are included as important participants in the feast.
Oh, and there’s vodka. Plenty.
Merry Christmas. Be like Mike Huckabee and use the occassion to find Christ. In Miami, they’re making “finding Christ” much easier this year.
