In lieu of writing a long post or digging myself in a deeper theological hole (see previous post) so close to Christmas, I'll give you all the gift of humorist/essayist David Sedaris. "The SantaLand Diaries" put Sedaris on the map after it aired in December, 1992 on NPR's Morning Edition. It is one of my favorite Christmas stories, as it recalls his holiday season as an elf at the SantaLand within the Macy's Department store in New York City. Sedaris is always gold in his writing - very self-deprecating and full of wit and observation - but hearing him perform them in his dry, almost disconnected, subdued manner brings out a magic in his work that just can't be matched when read internally. Hope you all find joy and love this holiday season, that you give as much as you receive. Merry Christmas.
