Replying to are you missing christmas?

i was just in the local grocery store (yeah shitty ass haggen) for a break from my miserable israeli/palestine conflict paper. as i was pilfering the bulk candy bins and mulling over the apple selections, i noticed the faint sound of christmas music. as i continued 'shopping' the music began to feel louder and louder to me and i began feeling rather festive. tight, christmas is coming...but oh wait, i wont be having christmas this year. no tree, no presents, no lights, no onslaught of rabid consumerism. on christmas morning i will awaken in some little hotel in hanoi, vietnam. i will spend my christmas day on the train to hong gai, so that we can charter a junk so that we can peruse the islands of ha long bay.

now thats not a shitty thing to be doing and at least i'll be with my family, but its not very christmasy. i figure that if you're going to miss christmas (assuming that you celebrate it), its got to be for a fucking good reason. i already had to miss christmas with my family once, two years ago when i was living in jackson...i had a fucking shitty christmas, actually i think it dumped that day - but my point is although it was well worth it, it wasn't very christmasy.

who else is missing christmas and why?
