This could be you.

The holidays are a strange time.  For me, it is about spending time with friends and family.  It is about inviting people to your home as well as going to theirs and enjoying good food, cheap wine, and a lot of laughs.  But somewhere along the way people seem to forget that.  They become so consumed by obsessive consumerism that they forget their place.  Their attention is absorbed by the little things like cleaning beyond anything socially acceptable.  And it is all to give the impression that the rest of the year is like that one day you spend in their home.  I don’t know what it is about it that bothers me; maybe because it feels fake and I’ve never been a fan of anything that goes against it’s own nature.

I can’t wait until the holidays are over and people go back to being real, the traffic near the malls return to normal, and I can plan for a real vacation that doesn’t involve climbing shaky ladders and working with high voltage lines.  There is at least one good thing that spawns out of Christmas and the holidays; people tend to be a little nicer to each other, even if it is just for “the spirit of Christmas”.

I know that this has absolutely nothing to do with games =), and I’d love to tell you what I am working on but I have to be tight lipped until I am certain that things are going to work out.  It is going to be a very busy new year.
