Christmas traditions are so obscure and bizarre that you can make up pretty much anything for it. There's a German tradition of putting a glass pickle in the tree and whoever finds it gets an extra present - GLASS PICKLE (which I need desperately for my own tree).
Two years ago we had some Australian friends of my step sister over for Christmas morning. The night before I put empty wrapping paper tubes in the windows. They asked why they were there and I explained it was a tradition. In the depression kids wouldn't always know if they were getting gifts that year, so they would look for empty wrapping paper tubes as evidence that they were and would display them in the windows as codes to their neighborhood friends that they got presents. My family had the gall to tell them the truth instead of sending them back with a weird story to tell.

Parenting, in general, is a terrible idea.
This is what letting your children run wild and get raised by wolves is for.

But I thought I'd bring a touch of Rhode Island weather with me.
Are the 50s okay? I didn't want to have to wear my heavy coat.

I'll make cookies for you too, RCH. I need people to make cookies for. Keeps me sane.

you misunderstand me.
when I say "I'd have to relocate to some bayou town full of frenchies in the middle of the swamp", what I mean is "goddamn, that sounds like the sort of weird backwater shithole that would be right up my alley. I bet they wouldn't call the cops when I sight my gun in on the front porch."

Monkey sends his regards.
I expect to be out in time to take you for those errands, but I don't think I'm going to coffee night. I need some rest.
