I don't feel the need to conform.

Screw society's "norms"! ... it's time to lighten up and have a good time with family and friends ... and have a gut busting meal. Even back in the day, who gave a shiite if all you got for presents were an apple and an orange, a sugar pig, and a new penny (which disappeared into the gas meter later in the day
), there was food on the table and folks to share it with.
On the 25th, we turn a solar corner, and spring is on the way
. All we have to do is shovel and shiver our way through three or four months of winter.
If having a good old time (even thinking a few positive thoughts after a couple of drinks and tokes) is conformity, conform me in.
By the by ... and completely off topic ... if moose is on your Christmas menu, cook it in the crock pot with onion, garlic, celery root, and mushroom soup.
Did a standing rib roast yesterday, and it was decent. Come to think of it, changing your menu at Christmas might make the holiday seem like less of a "conformity."
