My Goodwill to all
Friday, December 28th, 2007Well Christmas has come and gone uneventfully in my corner of the globe. The year is closing, and really, as I look back on it, Nightlight has become unfortunately neglected in my attempt to finish (successfully) and publish (working on it) a book I’ve been working on for too many years.
And so I spent the majority of Christmas day sitting in front of the television watching Magnum P.I. in a Hawaiian shirt. I’d long since resigned to the fact that I was too poor to fly to my family for the holiday, and somehow had worked myself up to actually look forward to the bizarre method of celebration. Tom Sellick is definitely a quieter, less stressful person to spend Christmas with than anything else I’d ever experienced.
After a while, text messages started trickling through to my phone. I was out of credit and unable to reply, but I appreciated it all the same. So to those dropped me a line, my love to all five of you, if you read this. Heck, I’ll even extend it to the two people who are not in my phone, who I have no idea to the identity of, but still thought enough of me to send these:
“Merry christmas honey.. And have a safe and happy new year..! XOX”
Bit of a mystery, because ‘honey’ would indicate I’m familiar with her in some way shape or form. I’m assuming it’s a ‘her’. I’m hoping. Then there’s the second one, who should maybe seek some psychiatric help. But hey, the sentiments are appreciated.
“Merry christmas boys! Happy anti-muslim day! May baby Jesus smite his enemies on his bday! I like to think as jesus as a ninja fighting off evil samarai”
Any weird text message contents do not reflect the opinions of myself or anyone who considers themselves amongst the Nightlight crew. I’d better make that point clear before the website ends up at war with another country. Really, one is enough.
Christmas love to all. Yes, even to you, China. Be well.
