After yesterday’s Grinchy post about politics, I needed to follow up with something more Christmassy and generous (though technically, as a Jehovah’s Witness not yet disfellowshipped for being an atheist, I am not supposed to celebrate Christmas). Now that I have alienated all my conservative friends and family, as well as my religious friends, I will create an art project that expresses the good feeling life gives me even as I approach its end.

I bought a Gingerbread House Kit along with some chocolate frosting and sugar decorations. I intend to build it and decorate it in my own fashion, being creative and detailed. I have kids that have already promised to eat it. But first it will be a subject for photo Paffoonies that I will make with flair and the greatest of care and everything else that I might dare.
