    We just got back from taking the Applebums in for their Santa pic. Walking into the mall, it was the first time it felt like the holidays. I am mad shallow.

    @bonita applebum: I never feel like it's the holidays until I go to the Grove (fancy outdoor mall here in LA). I think because malls are among the few places I frequent that get really done up with decorations and music and the like -- we don't decorate in my apartment because my roommate is Jewish (I have a small tree in my room), and most of my friends leave town for the holidays.

    I'm hopping on the train soon. I have $28 in my checking account and I about to spend $10 of it on overpriced train wine. I am also going to read a People magazine I snagged at work because I finished The Road on the way in this morning and almost laid on the tracks.

    Have a wonderful night, those of you celebrating Christmas.

    The rest of you, have a lovely Thursday.

    I am bored to tears at the family X-mas. And it's looking like I might have to go to church twice. One of the services is carols sung by tiny (off key, screaming) children + nativity play + sermon and that all ends up being about 2 and a half hours and the other service will be Catholic. And I always end of thinking about sex in church (take that baby Jesus!) and then I'll just be sad I can't get any for a week.

    But tomorrow there will be more family around (who are actually my aunt's family, so not related to me but they're super fun) so I can get tipsy and hide myself. And I should be getting a hula hoop. So I can drunkenly hula hoop my sorrows away.

    And my friends in Cali just posted a bunch of pictures from a party I would have been at if I stayed out there. Insult to injury, indeed.

    Stay strong Jezzies in similar situations. Fight the (X-Mas) Power.

    Hey, so my suspicion is that many of you guys are a bunch of stoners like me. (And before I get shit about it, I'm a productive stoner. Four bowls a week at MOST and a I'm busy, successful, smart lady.)

    Reading through the most-trafficked posts from this year, I found the celebrities who smoked pot thread and wasted an hour reading the comments. A lot of it had to do with the health hazards of smoking pot.

    So my question is: does anyone actually know for certain what smoking pot does to your body? I've read up for years on this kind of thing and I've honestly found nothing conclusive. Mostly what's been studied is the connection between marijuana use and cancer (which seems to be close to nonexistent). I know that smoke in the lungs can cause bronchitis and other respiratory problems. Is that it?

    And if I want to ease these problems, how much should I expect to spend on a decent vaporizer?

    @eatsshootsleaves: I don't really know for sure, but I thought a lot of the health risk from cigs comes from the tar and other additives, none of which are in weed. And, people usually smoke weed less (I've never know anyone who has smoked 20 joints a day, at least).

    Were the comments judgy? That shit pisses me off, we all do stuff that's not stellar for our health.

    I am going to venture forth to the store. This is probably a stupid-assed thing to do on Christmas Eve.

    Howevs! If there are any Southwest Jezebels in the house, you will appreciate my goal: turning some of the finest Hatch green chile into calabacitas. I thawed it out this morning and it is nearly ready to chop and cook with.

    My mission: conquer the food store, devise the perfect kitchen playlist, make calabacitas, dance around kitchen, eat calabacitas. By the time I get back it will also be late enough in the day to drink without perceiving self as Sad Hipster Single-Mom who is sans half-Catholic Offspring for the Christian holiday.

    @HM: It's cooking right now and I am more or less drooling. I used to live in the SW, and I basically ate my way through my 20s.

    Favorite things to do with calabacitas, in no particular order:

    -Eat it by itself.
    -Eat it with a blob of either sour cream or salted/peppered greek yogurt and some cheddar.
    -Eat it for breakfast with a poached egg plopped in the middle.
    -Eat it mixed up with leftover mashed potatoes.

    So, basically, we can surmise that I like to eat it.

    What is so wrong with saying "happy holidays"? This does not constitute a "war on Christmas"! Just because I would like you to acknowledge that not everyone is Christian doesn't mean I think you personally shouldn't be able to celebrate the birth of your savior, it just means that I don't want you to assume that I believe in him too! I went to Wal-Mart for groceries today, and I always try to use the self-checkout during December to avoid the awkward "merry Christmas", "yes, happy holidays" exchange that I always get myself stuck in, but today the lines were too long and I only had like four things so I went through the express line and had to converse with a person.

    Fuck Bill O'Reilly, man. The Wal-Mart greeters used to say "happy holidays" until he went all "war on Christmas" on them and they had to change back to saying "merry Christmas". "Happy holidays" INCLUDES Christmas, which is a holiday!

    Okay, tonight is the one bit of forced drama I have to go through each year. Mr. Icyblonde has two family members with whom we have a... strained relationship. I love every single other member of his family, and even my sometimes-drama-laden fam has been behaving themselves lately, so doing Xmas on my side tomorrow will be a piece of cake.

    Seriously, guys, this is the one night a year I dread due to the tension. Usually it's a cold war and there are no blowups, but I still feel wibbly and angsty and have that unreasonable pressure on myself to look and be far more fabulous than the people who dislike me. So pathetic of me. My only saving grace is that my parents-in-law are not stingy with the alcohol, so I plan to get a nice little white wine buzz on to handle the icky.

    All I wanna do is stay home in warm PJs and watch cartoons. Seriously. *pout*

    Plus I have a huge zit. I need a hug.

    Watching West Wing, enjoying total and utter solitude with baking and awesome college radio Xmas Eve music (88.5 XPN Philly, yo). Am considering writing Profound Holiday Email To Person That Broke My Heart.

    There's a reason that no one should do that. I find myself often popping into the Groupthink to tell other people not to do that very thing. But I understand the urge. So far am holding strong, despite his repeated texts.

    For the mo', I am staying utterly engrossed in old eps of West Wing. Isn't there something truly wonderful about their well placed yeah's that is just sublime? Do you ever wish that you could do a well placed yeah? I try to incorporate that into my professional life, but sometimes I wonder if anyone gets it.

    @SomeAuthorGirl: There's nothing like a West Wing Christmas episode. I just made fudge and I'm watching the third season, Bartlet for America. Leo and Jed have one of the loveliest, most sincere friendships on television ever.

    Not only is a well placed "yeah" fantastic, but there's also something to be said for a well placed "okay" which I think Dule Hill really became an expert on delivering. I watch the West Wing a lot when I'm writing poli sci papers, and it's amusing to read my papers later on and notice the syntax or turns of phrase I lifted from the West Wing. I often watch Sports Night when writing papers for other classes, so Sorkin has a pretty profound impact on my writing style in general.

    And yes, don't write the email. Or write it and then delete it. But don't send it. If he doesn't already know how amazing you are, then he will probably not be moved by an email and, in any case, he doesn't deserve you.

    @Dodgergirl: The writing from West Wing has not been topped since in network television. Nor the excellent delivery by actors. I passionately loved Studio 60 also; I recently rewatched it and it was ridiculously underappreciated.

    I'm not going to. Staying firmly planted on Jez today is going to keep me from making a total emotional ass of myself.

    @Penny: I just got in. But hopefully will get off early.

    Glad your man could give you a big giggle this morning. Know it's been a rough week job hunt-wise for you.

    Merry Merry and Happy Happy to you and yours!

    It's hard to be a Jew on Christmas
    My Friends won't let me join in any games..
    And I can't sing Christmas songs
    Or decorate a Christmas tree..
    Or leave water out for Rudolph
    'cause there's something wrong with me..
    My people don't believe in Jesus Christ's divinity..
    I'm a Jew, a lonely Jew.. on Christmas.

    Hanukkah is nice, but why is it,
    That Santa passes over my house every year?
    And instead of eating Ham
    I have to eat Kosher Latkes..
    Instead of Silent Night
    I'm singing hey-hach-dol-gavish..
    And what the fuck is up
    With lighting all these fucking Candles, tell me please?
    I'm a Jew, a lonely Jew..
    I'd be merry but i'm Hebrew
    on christmas

    Truer words were never spoken.

    @plothole: man. The BF and I were just saying the other night what a fucking pain in the ass xmas is. My family is not religious and I never grew up with xmas being a big deal. We never even had a tree! (we did get presents, we went to a relatives house on xmas) but his family is SO into it. My point is, you have no idea how good you have it without xmas. I would love to chill out and eat chinese food tomorrow.

    @bluebears: But I want a tree! It;s not the presents, it's the tree! Although yes, I'd rather be eating Chinese food under it than dealing with family.

    Plus you guys don't have to celebrate Yom Kippur, so game, point, match Christians!

    @plothole: You should just get a tree and do it up. Trust me, spending a year dealing with that decorating bullshit, buying ornaments, untangling lights, trimming the tree and then the post-xmas clean-up will cure you.

    eta: I just listened to a Fresh Air interview the other day by a Humanist Rabbi and he made a persuasive argument that so much of Christmas is non-religious, American cultural heritage.

    @bluebears: I would love to have a tree. Alas my orthodox family would damn me to hell.

    By the by, this talk made me crave Chinese food which I was then forced to order for lunch and now I have no idea what I am going to eat tomorrow. You've ruined my Jewish Christmas, I hope you're happy!

    @bluebears: My family does celebrate Christmas -- a very low-key Christmas but still -- and my traditions as an adult? Movies and Chinese food. I will take any excuse to hang out with friends, but I generally prefer to do so without the cultural pressure of You Must Have The Warmest And Most Joyful Time Of The Year NOW.
