The 12 Days Of Christmas, by the numbersAug 11, 2011

I ran the numbers on "The 12 Days of Christmas" and turns out there are a lot of birds. Worked with my friend Ricky to turn it into a Christmas infographic.

My Christmas ListNov 1, 2007

Check out my Christmas list!

Fa-la-la-la-la-aaarghAug 12, 2006

Heard my first Christmas carol on August 10th. I am appalled. With Halloween no longer serving as a barrier, there's nothing stopping Christmas from creeping all the way back to Easter.

Off to the tropicsDec 14, 2005

Heading to Trinidad for the Christmas holiday. Back for New Year's Eve, so count me in for your plans!

Christmas SpiritDec 13, 2005

Caught some Christmas spirit at Waterstones — hot chocolate, lights, and presents. Now I'm packing for Trinidad and ready for a well-earned vacation, sneezes and all.

All I want for ChristmasNov 26, 2005

I have an Amazon wish list if you want to buy me something. Also, I finally secured my WiFi after a neighbor started hogging our bandwidth. Sorry to any innocent freeloaders, but they left me no choice.

It remains coldNov 25, 2005

Still two gifts to find, but I'm doing it all from the warmth of home. Not stepping outside until Monday.

...and when do you leave?Dec 23, 2004

Here are my holiday plans: London through December 30th, then tropics until January 13th. My first UK Christmas ever. People say cold weather makes it better, but warm fuzzy feelings seem easier when you're actually warm. I'll report back.

Merry Fucking Christmas, kidNov 24, 2003

Christmas is a scam. The food, the gifts, the family bonding, the religious angle, the music -- all bullshit. Only small children enjoy it, and that's pure greed. I love it anyway, because it's gloriously camp and I get to visit my family somewhere warm.

Back from four days in Tobago, the even-more-tropical, even-more-paradisical sister island. I...Dec 28, 2002

Just back from Tobago, hopelessly behind on work. Quiet Christmas -- got luggage, no iBook (thanks Mom and Dad). First Christmas without my brothers, which felt strange. Also, read Spree and tell me what you think.

December! And as my first blog of the festive season, I would like to present a checklist of the...Dec 1, 2002

My Christmas checklist: no humming carols, yes to gifts and tinsel and stuffing my face. No fake family bonhomie, no snow (I'll be in the tropics), no holiday charity guilt trips, no special appreciation of loved ones I already appreciate year-round. Christmas is just a good excuse for things I'd do anyway.

Merry Christmas eve! I probably won't post for a while, so I should get this in now. No...Dec 24, 2001

Merry Christmas eve! Taking a break from posting, and skipping the obligatory year-in-review nonsense.

It's nearly Christmas. Do you feel Christmassy? Are you in debt yet? Are you stressed out? Or do...Dec 4, 2001

Christmas is coming and I went shopping today, totally stumped on what to get people or how to pay for it all. Erk.
