“The proper behavior all through the holiday season is to be drunk. This drunkenness culminates on New Year’s Eve, when you get so drunk you kiss the person you’re married to.”

-- P. J. O’Rourke

The great conservative commentator/humorist brings an off-color sense of levity to what sometimes can be a stressful season. Of course, I don’t want you to think I literally endorse his view of the holiday season, but I do think that sometimes a relaxing drink and amorous attention toward your spouse can take the edge off of even the worst holiday stress. Now, let’s all enjoy the holidays!
