What a difference a day makes.
So many of us grant ourselves special rules for eating those unique seasonal rich foods on the Holidays...but then feel horrid self recrimination soon after OR would never consider eating those on a non-holiday schedule.

Oh yeah, videos....I need to get started on my End Of Year Recap for Wednesday and my Friday video since my Holidaze Hiatus is coming to a close.

How has your Youtube Holiday Season been, #mutantfam?

On a break, doing well, flatlining, etc? Any planned changes in the coming year?

Also: Joan Sutherland, Burl Ives, and Joan Baez xmas albums were played through the 24th-26th (sometimes a week earlier when they put up a tree, which to young me, was such a magical combination- almost like a drug!).

By age 5 I knew the whole Santa thing was a farce. “Uncle Earle” came by dressed up as Santa trying to convince me, and I just wasn’t having it. I then realized the GIANT LIE early on. Still, I didn’t mind all the rituals, the food, the music, the smells of the tree, the magic of the glitter and lights captivated me with the music. And, of course- the GIFTS! As a kid, this is heroin. It works. I still feel the pull of giving and getting presents even though I really don’t follow the whole “Capitalust” holidaze.

Oh yeah, in the pic you see a 6 year old me in pjs sitting on the floor in front of a big xmas tree with my butt on my feet (I haven’t been able to do that in 40+ years!), with a Mickey Mouse Times watch in its packaging. My eyes are a bit unusually far apart (until my head and body grew into it- which is probably why kids called me “funny face”). To the right you can see my Mother’s legs.

An earlier pic of a 3 year old me still mystified by all the magic not understanding why or what- being held in my Mother’s arms just outside the apt they lived in for a short time in Morristown NJ

A 4 year old me in my Father’s arms facing each other smiling (I now look like him so much). It was not long after this that Uncle Earle (no actual relation, just a neighbor down the road) attempted to trick me into believing he was Santa visiting…it didn’t go well, and it changed my perspective on the world and humanity early on.

Close-up of those weird red and green plastic lights xmas ornament on a tree that have a glass tube sticking up and out of the plastic base. The fluid in the tube is a red color and as the light warms up it starts to bubble inside the tube. I stared at this for MANY MANY hours transfixed. I think I still have them in a box somewhere! I still feel this magic, even though I know more about the realities of this world. Have a Merry Christmas if you celebrate, if not, enjoy the beauty of the various religion’s lights giving us something to ponder. It’s just too bad that a great deal of humanity pays no attention to the actual good teachings of these ancient writings by who knows who. Sad that people killed each other over these things. In the words of Pete Seeger: “when will they ever learn? When will they EVER learn.”

Holidaze: The Christmas that Almost Didn't Happen
This has, by christmas, the most shameful product placement possible. This was basically an entire hour long ad for Walmart, Coke, and Sony.
Like... they just didn't care. They made no attempt to hide it. It's garbage
