Little elf, little elf!
Yesterday Thom left for Covington to spend Christmas with his family, and in a few hours I’ll be off to the west coast, where I’ll be with my folks through next Wednesday. This morning I had the radio on while getting ready, and Morning Edition played excerpts from the classic David Sedaris story “Santaland Diaries,” first broadcast 12 years ago. I was shaving while listening to it, and I had to stop since I was laughing so much. Check it out. (See also “Christmas and Commerce,” This American Life.)
Well, I’m leaving for the airport soon and better get packing. Happy holidays, everyone!
