So far this year, the holiday season in retail has failed to damper my Christmas spirit. Usually, the holidays make me insanely bitter and in a bad mood, but for some reason, that seems not to be the case this year.

I just spent about 3 hours searching KaZaA for Christmas music, including the ever popular All I Want for Christmas is You by Mariah Carey and The Christmas Song (Remix) by Christina Aguilera. I have also downloaded White Christmas by THE MAN, Bing Crosby.

I have also finished almost all of my Christmas shopping, being far more generous than I have been in the past. Perhaps it's because I am making more money than I ever have and have medical insurance so that I can take drugs legally.

I feel like the only thing that is missing is mistletoe.

Oh yeah, and my Birthday is in 3 days.
