so i don't do christmas. i'm trans and stuck in a red state, you can go ahead and run some numbers and guess why that is. and i am Not Exaggerating Or Joking when i say i don't care about new years anymore without the jermawards.
i've been thinking about the part of christmas i liked, when i liked it, and for me it was mostly just a celebration of idleness. more than anything i was just excited to wear pajamas for two weeks and not be expected to do anything! the actual day was the least comfortable in those weeks. so to preserve this idea, i am considering a new holiday:

Fuck You, It's January!!!
now i'm not really in a "get time off work" socioeconomic class, but what i can do is set aside a week or two at the start of january to underachieve. just really, truly underperform. we're talking quiet quitting. we're talking cheetos brand mac n cheese. we're talking working on my videos game backlog instead of sleeping properly. we're talking ruining my stomach with caffeine. sort of a Purge situation, if you will. and that's Fuck You It's January.
