'Twas the day after Christmas and down through the hall
No one's picked up the wrapping paper, not one scrap at all.
Each room is cluttered with ribbons and bows
C'mon, dammit, can't someone pick up any of those?
I kick at the trash, I fume and I bluster
But I'm tired as all fuck, this is all I can muster.
I sit at my computer to work on my blog
But my brain is like mush and thinking's a slog.
So I go to my Twitter and copy some Tweets
And post to my blog <something that rhymes with Tweets>
Dave-El's got those post Christmas blues, this is all I can do
And I'm so glad my suffering amuses you.

Here are some Tweets from Christmas Eve when I was supposed to be wrapping presents. How appropriate that this hashtag was trending.

The big topic through a big part of the United States was how damn warm Christmas is this year. Here are some Tweets from other people on this very subject.
Santa: "Hello, Sleigh Department? What's this new button on my dashboard marked 'AC?'"
Elf: "Just ... just trust us this year, big guy."
Elf: "Just ... just trust us this year, big guy."
Heat brings out stress more than cold. That's why riots mostly happen in the summer. So combine hot weather with the already stressful time of the holiday season, well, it can be a bit much. Check out these Tweets from other people.

How early is too early to start drinking in order cope with Christmas with the in-laws?

And that's all I have for today. Yes, we did venture out from the Fortress of Ineptitude on Christmas Day to go see this year's Doctor Who Christmas Special at Geeksboro Coffeehouse and Cinema. I'll post on that tomorrow.
Until next time, remember to be good to one another.
