Holiday Windup

Sorry I haven't blogged in a while.  The holidays kicked my ass.  Thank goodness my family drinks so I could survive the exhilaration of tons of family and lots of food and booze.  (And thankfully one of my family members gave me this sign as a Christmas present!)  While dry out and get back in to the swing of things, check out these previous posts of holiday seasons past...

Early in to starting the blog back in "ought-5" (2005), I was delighted to find these old holiday ads.

Later that year, my Christmas recap was kind of a downer, due to budget restraints.

In 2007, I was pretty pissed of with the media's portrayal of Christmas.  

In 2008, I reflected how horrible the "Rudolph the Red-Nosed Reindeer" kids' special really is.

Later that same year, I was feeling really nostalgic and introspective, reflecting on Christmas when I was a kid.

I had quite the turnaround this year, as my Christmas and New Years was full of lots of family, food, and cocktails.  I hope all of yours was just as good!
