Why I hate Christmas

• It always takes lots of duct tape to restrain the cat long enough for me to safely fit him with his Christmas sweater
• Escort services charge through the nose on the 25th of December, and the girls tend to be really cranky
• You have to be friendly to people

OK, none of the above is true. However, I did just finish writing 54 Christmas cards. I also updated my address book, which, like every year, turned out to be woefully incomplete. And finally, I dumped all the cards in the mailbox. This may not sound like a lot of effort, but it is. To prevent damage from fireworks, Dutch mail has narrowed the openings in all mail boxes to extremely small slits. This means the cards have to be thrown in one by one.

So if you receive a card, cherish it. I must be very fond of you.

Why don't you just get the cat an exotic bird screen saver package like the rest of us sensible cat people... :-)

May you and yours have a happy and healthy holiday season.
