Hangover Day

(1)

Merry Christmas!

I love Christmas Eve for several reasons, not the least of which is that I always get drunk on Christmas Eve. Back in the Old Days before Philosophy and Drugs I attended Midnight Mass. It was an 'OK experience' which I looked forward to every year. I liked all the music and pageantry of that night, especially the songs. Booze has increased my yearly enjoyment of Christmas Eve and at the same time decreased my enjoyment of the next day, Christmas Day. Aware of this trade-off I continue to observe my year-end ritual of getting drunk. The Eve of Christmas has come to represent to me the really valuable gem of the season, while Christmas Day itself is only hangover day. I think you can relate to that.

Next drunk night is one week away. I can hardly wait! I don't remember ever doing Acid on Christmas Eve or New Year's Eve. For me, Acid was mostly a Summer Drug. Summer and Acid go together.
