Domestic Oblivion

So, my mom is trying very hard to make Christmas appealing.  The other day she said maybe I should just think of it as a Saturnalia* celebration.  To which I replied, “THAT is exactly what Christmas needs, Mom!  More sex!”

Long pause.

And then she said, “Yes, but the children…”

And I said, “Let them start early!”

And that was the end of my mom trying to get me to like December.

*Wikipedia has a really informative blurb on Saturnalia if you’re not familiar with it.  And by the way, I  do think we should bring it back.  How fun would that be?
