I want you all to drop the garland, take the almond bark out of your mouth, walk out of Big Lots and start thinking what the true meaning of Christmas is. It's not supposed to be a holiday spent in the mall, or screaming at your dad for burning the Crescent Rolls. That stuff sucks. This photo points to what each and every one of us needs to be doing this holiday: breaking. If you'd stop at the figurative red light and take a minute to breathe in the piney goodness, you might actually feel the magic of the season, rather than just driving through it like a maniac on Four Loco. Close your eyes and picture that Happy Honda Days commercial with the epic Vampire Weekend song and the yuppies flying around on sleds. Does your heart feel that way right now? Are visions of sugarplums dancing in your head? If not, you've gotta put your blinker on, pull over and defrost your heart. Forget about making lists and checking them twice, and go chill with your crew. Don't worry about giving them the Xbox Slim or Rockband 3; give them your love. Feliz Navidad to you all.
