Dennis,

 DK> Christmas seems empty and nihilistic to me, as if the visual forms are
 DK> still present, but the substance isn't there.  I tell people who ask me
 DK> what to get them, to get me nothing, because the whole
 DK> commercialisation of Christmas turns it into a chore, a grind, an
 DK> obligation and little more.

  I tell them that "Santa heard I was good...he laughed so hard that
he peed and pooped all over himself...so, he's not coming to my place".
