The winter solstice occurs today.

What do you want for the holidays this year?

For yourself.

Materially.

Examples:

– A whole bunch of legos.

– The Lonely Planet Travel Book.

– A date with Emma Anderson of the bands Lush and Sing Sing.

In looking over the last week of posts, I’m suprised to notice that I never officially congratulated Sawyer and Laura on their marriage. This was a mistake. I suppose I just thought it was so over the news that I assumed it must be here.

I think that the ghost of Andy must have really arrived for our Andy Kaufman Party, because that night, and every night since has been either delightfully bizarre or bizarrely delightful.

On Wednesday… um… scratch that, I don’t even remember Wednesday.

O key of David and scepter of Israel, what you open no one else can close again; what you close no one can open. O come to lead the captive from prison; free those who sit in darkness and in the shadow of death.

If you were to spend a day with either Latka or Tony Clifton, who would you choose?

If you aren’t familiar with Latka or Tony, answer this question instead:

If you were to spend with one of the Seinfeld characters (the main four), who would you choose?

O stock of Jesse, you stand as a signal for the nations; kings fall silent before you whom the peoples acclaim. O come to deliver us, and do not delay.

I’m shot.

I have Pinkeye.

O Adonai and leader of Israel, you appeared to Moses in a burning bush and you gave him the Law on Sinai. O come and save us with your mighty power.

Catholic Online emphasizes the increasing urgency of the Antiphons with each successive day.

What would you do about AIDS in Africa?

Assume I’ve given you 1 billion dollars.

Or, hell, that’ll be gone before you know it. I’ll give you a billion Euros instead.

What do you want for Christmas (Hannukah, Yule, etc.) this year?

This time, for yourself.

But abstractly… less material.

Examples:

– peace of mind

– to get into grad school

– to have Miki Berenyi and Emma Anderson attend one’s bachelor party
