Tomorrow I, like many of you, will began my hike back to my parents’ place to take part in the annual passive-aggressive bitch-a-thon known as Christmas! If, like me, you want to avoid the usual “I have a real job, Mom! Blogging and porn are real jobs! AND YOU’RE PAYING JONATHAN’S RENT ANYWAY, SO SHUT UP!” deal, here’s a step-by-step guide on how to deal with the holidays!

Drink anyway. You can write it off as part of the holiday celebration thing. Happy holidays, everyone! Drive safe and try not to drink to the point where you make even more terrible decisions than usual.
