The car is fixed, I keep shopping even though I don't need to, and I have more tsotchkes now than I had before. This is why I've pretty much opted out of the holidays. Stop staring like that... No really, we don't really celebrate anything here at Casa de Beanie. Some folks just don't grasp the concept, but it's like this. We don't consider ourselves religious at all. As a result, for us to celebrate any of the religious holidays would be rather hypocritical. So, we opt out of the whole rigamarole. The only shopping we do is to pick up things on sale for ourselves. We don't decorate, we don't put up a tree/menorah, it's just another day of December. We also don't go into debt up to our eyeballs, so I guess that's good. This isn't to say I'm a total grinch though. I enjoy Christmas lights. I love latkes. I want everyone who celebrates these holidays to enjoy themselves. Don't feel bad for us, we're just as happy hanging out at home for the day. And maybe some Chinese food...mmmm.
