well they came
they saw
they pigged out massively
and they left too stuffed to walk
ah yes
another successful T-DAY
i do hope you all had a great one
and are not doing too much processing
about your weird families
i know the holidays
can really bring out the love
and warmth of family
but they can also bring out
the disfunction
and madness
and guilt
and fury of family
its a mixed bag
and ive had more then a few friends who opted to
forgo the family in exchange for peace and harmony
this holiday season if you
are not accepted by your family because
oh maybe you're gay
or maybe you've fallen in love with the garbage man
and not a doctor
or maybe you gave up that harvard education
to spend you life painting abstract portraits of dogs
whatever
please know
that there is love out there
and understanding
and when it does not come from someone who's blood you share
it can and does often come from the strangest of places
i mysef was not blood related to anyone who shared my table this year
but i had family there all the same
here's wishing you
warmth
and compassion
for the holiday season
bon appetit
