The day off would be nice, but it doesn't look like my projected ship schedule is going to allow that to happen. With any luck, Christmas Eve this year won't be a repeat of 2014, when I spent the evening on board a vessel, watching a dead crewman be removed from the galley's walk-in freezer, get bagged, and then be carried down a gangway to be taken ashore. Imagine his poor family in the Philippines, getting that holiday news.

What I want is enough time to talk with each of my kids, my grandchildren, and my parents and to get some time at home with my wife and dogs.

A blow job or a pony would also be nice, but I'm keeping hopes and expectations low this season.

That aside, I'm kind of on board with Chad. I get more excited about giving gifts these days than receiving them. I only wish I could afford to be a bit more lavish about it.

Eh. I'm good. Getting to sleep in would be nice though ._.

But that's what happens when religious holidays are secularized.

Aah, poor predictable Wooters. You never miss a chance to shit all over a nice fun little thread with your smug self-satisfied superiority, do you?

And now you're ruining it too.

Well done.

And now you're ruining it. And so am I!

Oh no!

A fucking Nintendo classic mini.

All the personal and non-material things I'll just keep working for because Santa don't play that.

Giving people religious pamphlets and a smug sense of satisfaction doesn't count.

Since I've already purchased hundreds of dollars worth of gifts, donated who knows how much food and toiletries, helped more than one person out with their holiday need, I'll take a fucking Nintendo.

If I can have anything at all, I want The Gams of My Dreams. Ankle surgery and plastic surgery might be involved, but for starters I'll go with simple non-invasive stuff and escalate to heavy-duty interventions as required. Sick and tired of those poor limbs carrying much more than their fair share for all these years.

I blame genetics. *shakes fist at random ancestor*

Whirled peas.
