See, that’s what you get for living in a desert, insanity. Everybody knows you need trees to keep you sane!

… We have trees. Palm trees. I don’t really think scaly oversized sticks count, though. :P

Exactly. And some palms look more like decorative bushes anyway.

So, um, are you gonna be mad at me for wishing you Happy Holidays? I can just keep it to a Happy Thanksgiving if that will help?

Nah, I wouldn’t get mad. :) (It’s not the well-wishing from others, it’s this bizarre expectation of some idealized Martha Stewart perfection in all strata of my life during this time of year. Bah. Humbug.)
