When Bloggers Stop Blogging: ISU season

Time for some epic poetry, peoples

UGHNG>>>>>>>

I hate ISUs with a passion.  

The reason I hate them so much is the

fact that you get them so far 

in advance and yet

you never start them until 

the last minute, so the night before you

are up till 4 o'clock  finding

a billion and a half

bible verses, typing them 

up and fitting them on a timeline. It wouldn't

be so bad, after all, the 

Bible's interesting,

but when you have to do 

so many, your brain freezes over and you die.

Heaven in milk-product form

Christmas season is finally here.  Not because of stores selling christmas paraphenallia (they've been doing that since October), and not because our house has Christmas lights up (some years we don't even take 'em down.)  Nope, Christmas season is here because I have just taken my first bite of Candy-cane ice-cream.

It's the stuff I wait for all year round.  And it's not even for the taste. Of course, it does taste delicious. The stuff is ridiculously creamy, full to the top with candy-cane pieces and loaded with chocolate crackles.  But the real reason that I love it so much is that it embodies the Christmas Season in my mind, just as much as the first snowfall, the claymation Rudolph that I used to watch on TVO kids every year, and the plush Barney-wearing-a-Santa-hat that we used to set out for me.

Notice that I've said The Christmas Season.  That's something totally different than Christmas itself.  Christmas is about Christ, and The Season is technically about commercialism.  However, to me the Christmas Season still has some kind of magic, which to me, is embodied in my Candy-cane ice-cream.
