and so this is christmas

I knew when I saw that big red pimple on my nose it was time for Christmas. Every year I get one zit, one zit on the end of my nose that is beacon to all children: Santa is coming.

Starbucks has Holiday cups, there are fake trees at K-Mart, and the ACLU is challenging the constitutionality of other people enjoying themselves but it is not Christmas until my nose says so.
