If I missed my chance, I didn't even try
I'm not one to regret Christmas in July
If my timing is bad, like a fish on a bike,
Would you let me pretend: Christmas in July?

Los Angeles is also lame for Christmas. Growing up I was so jealous of people that lived where it snowed. And then when I experienced it for the first time it was even more magical than I expected it to be. It's not often one gets to say that

PUT UP A TREE

A REAL TREE SPEAKING OF WHICH ARTIFICIAL TREE USERS PLS IDENTIFY YOURSELVES IT'LL BE BETTER FOR YOU IF YOU COME ALONG WILLINGLY

I guess over time we became ducks
I never seemed to see you much
Then the world turned, time got away
We fell out of touch

I've been working at the airport bar
It's like Christmas in a submarine
Wings and brandy on a winter's night
I guess you wouldn't call it a scene

WHOOPS

20 DAYS TIL CHRISTMAS!

i'm taking over this operation

actually no, i'm not. too much responsibility.

Look. Once more for the latecomers, here's how this works. I POST THE UPDATES. And you? You don't post anything. Unless I've specifically invited a response with one of my Christmas musings. You know what. Don't even post then. Just sit and think about your reply silently.

TWENTY DAYS UNTIL CHRISTMAS

THE XRISTMAS XOUNTDOWN STYLE MANUAL REQUIRES THAT NUMBERS BE SPELLED OUT. CONSISTENT FORMATTING IS IMPORTANT TO MY AUDIENCE

a tree has entered my home

It's a Christmas miracle:

They matched on a dating site and got married. He needed a kidney, and they matched again

This story is a lot more heartwarming when you get over your initial impression that a donor match has to be an immediate blood relative

after eight years on dating sites, he finally found a new kidney.
