Christmas has always been my favorite holiday. Presents. Family. An excuse to be drunk all the time for a solid week. We always want an awesome Christmas (or Hanukkah, or Ramadan, or etc.). So what was one of yours?
My Thundercats Christmas
Among my many childhood fascinations, Thundercats topped the list – next to Voltron and Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles. I specifically remember waking up on Christmas morning 1987, coming downstairs, seeing the whole collection of Thundercats toys under the tree, and feeling some indescribable mix of emotion between ecstasy and complete nirvana. It was pretty amazing…
Always rely on Peanuts to get it right on the holidays.
The year I got DUMPED a week before christmas.....
SO, I PROCEEDED TO GET WASTED ON THE CRANBERRY CHAMPAGNE IN MY HAND AND ANYTIME SOMEONE SAID, “How are you doin’ Chels….” I’d WINK and give a THUMBS UP……as you can see.
Christmas 2007
Last year’s Xmas was very awesome as I got a Nikon D40x as my main present. I’ve always had an interest in photography, but now I could finally make it into a hobby. That camera has helped me get some awesome shots at concerts and around Brooklyn. Now, I just have to actually upload them to my Picasa account.

Christmas 1987
I was 8, and upon opening this experienced my very first spontaneous erection. To this day I still manage a halfie every time I meet an Italian plumber. You’d be surprised how often that actually happens.
The year I got all 4 wisdom teeth extracted on Dec. 27
Oral surgery? Great! 2 days after Christmas? Sure! Impacted wisdom teeth hooked around the nerves—gonna have to chisel first? Fantastic! Painkillers? Now we’re talking!
