the reason for the season

Despite some unfortunate incidents, I'm still feeling rather joyous. I don't know if it's because me and my fam are cool despite those incidents, or because I've got a few days away from theGig, or if it's just because the sun rising keeps reminding that the world keeps on turning. I ain't even gonna keep questioning it.

I'm gleeful, and to celebrate that glee - I'm not cooking a big a$$ dinner. I haven't fought mall shoppers for Christmas parking spaces, refuse to get stuck in Atlanta's gawd-awful christmas traffic, and don't have the ends to break the bank spending New Year's money. I'm not going to break my neck & back, cleaning my house til it's spotless, and pulling out the good china.If I cook, I'm inviting my friends and fam over, to collectively make Christmas tapas, followed by Christmas cookies, opening a few presents, and sharing some good cheer.

It's definitely a van der Rohe Christmas. And I like it that way.
