Sometimes strange people will give me a fairly difficult time when I say, “Oh, I’m going home for Christmas holiday” or “I love Christmas food!”

because they are all like, “YOU ARE NOT A CHRISTIAN,” and I am all like, “WELL THANK YOU FOR ALERTING ME TO THAT FACT, BUT HERE IS A LITTLE BIT OF BACKSTORY, JERKY MCJERKERSON. MY PARENTS CAME TO AMERICA YEARS AND YEARS AGO AND WHEN YOU ARE PART OF A MINORITY SUBCULTURE THAT IS NOT REFLECTED IN MAINSTREAM MEDIA, YOU FIGURE OUT OTHER WAYS OF ASSIMILATING INTO POPULAR CULTURE. YOU FIGURE OUT YOUR OWN TRADITIONS. YOU FIGURE OUT HOW TO HAVE FUN.” Basically? Christmas was a gluttonous, secular time of year when we gave each other presents and ate a lot of chocolate and took a moment out to reflect on the past year. It should, in all honesty, be called Christmess shouldn’t it?
