It’s that point once more.

A time to remodel fireside and residential right into a hellscape of landfill-bound fripperies.

A time to commerce the quinoa salads and avocado ice cream for mother’s deep-fried mac ‘n cheese balls filled with pizza rolls filled with a molten core of sugar-soaked gummy worms.

And maybe most significantly, a time to supply moonlit sacrifices of cured grinch hides and spiced elf organs to the dimension-hopping Antediluvian demi-god Santa Claus and his battalion of bionic beast-deer-creatures cast within the Third Epoch of Prehistory to do battle with the dead-eyed demon prince Krampus for command of the multiverse—

P.S. Various folks have mentioned they wish to get me a present for the vacations, which is a candy gesture . . . until it’s a field of Maricopa harvester ants . . . no, the thought doesn’t depend . . . and to that I say:

If you wish to get me one thing, then possibly purchase a replica of one among my books? Or go away a assessment for one among them wherever you purchase books on-line?

We authors like to promote books. And get evaluations. 

Actually, the one motive you’re receiving this e-mail is as a result of many type folks began doing each of these issues ten years in the past once I launched the primary version of Greater Leaner Stronger, so both of them would actually tickle the reptilian pleasure facilities of my mind this Christmas.
