I've a couple of holiday rituals that may be driving me more or less sane. One of them is
not visiting relatives.
Another is setting up my own little, much darker version of Santa's workshop in my garage where I more goblin-like than elf-like curse all Mattel engineers to eternities of assembling toys with missing or deformed parts. Apparently on the @#$%$# planet these guys are on everyone has 4 arms and are double jointed. Hope any 8 year olds reading this appreciate those toys freakin' elves put together for them.
The next ritual is catching up on an entire season of Sopranos via DVD rental. As mentioned, watching Kill Bill VOL 1 and 2 is another.
Finally, spreading cheer among the friends and regulars at the local pool hall is in order.
BTW for Merika et al:
Help Santa drink and drive.

Use the arrow keys to guide santa to his next drink. Be sure to keep him away from the electrified toy train tracks.
Also, from my darkside,

This looks fun, has anyone heard this?
Anyone else have some less than traditional Holiday Traditions?
