Goodbye and Good Riddance 2011: Maybe the even years are better
Every year we watch the Charlie Brown special, do the Snoopy dance, wish everybody a Merry Christmukkah, and thank our Secret Santas in the good riddance thread. Which is this one, in case you were wondering. 2011? Room for improvement. Srsly.

Thrive to spite them
My stuff is almost ready, I'm going to send out a card, but the package will be after Xmas.
Mom and Dad have been sending my presents and we're going to skype for Xmas. I opened one box from Mom b/c I needed it to send presents and she sent my stocking! Filled with stuff!
And this reminds me I need to get a stocking and stuff it for Will.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
I have been going around scamming the Godiva chocolates from the offshore consulting company off of everyone and handing them out like I'm Santa Claus. I have one more guy to get them from.
So far, only the data centre vendor has given me anything. Chocolate covered cherries, though. Should be good.

I did not get a bonus or gift, but we did get two weeks off for the holiday. I am OK with that!

The more I learn, the more I realize how little I know.
My cousin in SF sent me Tcho chocolates for Christmas. I'd never heard of them. Dark chocolate, four flavors -- chocolatey, nutty, fruity, and citrus. They came with instructions, wtf? One is supposed to eat savor them in order. Again, wtf?
I like chocolate. I like dark chocolate even more. I do not like any of the Tcho chocolates.
I'm going to take them in to work tomorrow, see if anyone likes any of them.
They did come in a nice box, though. I'll keep that, anyway.

Oh, I know those! I love the fruity one. But I've never really done the tasting in order thing.

I do not like any of the Tcho chocolates.
I think their chocolates are kind of an acquired taste. OTOH, their hot chocolate (which you can get from their factory tasting room in SF) is amazing.

Because books.
I don't want instructions with my food! Especially chocolate. It should just be EAT and NOM.

I want to take you to the "blind" eating in LA, Amy.. Something that's too complicated for, you know, food. Or molecular gastronomy. We got lots of it here.

Because books.
Blind eating? That sounds frightening.
