So the Christmas season is upon us, and as usual I am running around like a headless turkey because I have way too much work to get down and zero time on my hands. I've got 11 cake orders to fill in, a 7ft christmas tree to put up, decorate the entire house, finalize my Christmas Party plans, finish gift shopping, and carol rehearsals. But there's one thing about Christmas which actually makes me smile. Christmas has no longer become a Christian-only tradition, and many of my non-Christian friends are gleefully telling me that they're going to be putting up their tree soon and arrange a Christmas dinner. Now all this of course is purely the commercial aspect of Christmas talking, but in all honesty, it really is nice to see how during a time of thanks and giving, most people can pack up their shit and enjoy some quality time with friends and family, regardless of their religion. So go ahead - put up a Christmas tree, fix a bear trap for Santa, and snuggle into bed.

Do you know what I find to be the funniest thing in the world? People who are so insecure about their luggage being lost or stolen during a flight, that they not only lock the suitcase, but bind it with plastic rope and write 'DXB - BOMBAY' on white tape all over the damn thing. Take note people..it's called Mumbai now. The second funniest thing? Guys who straighten their hair to look all sophisticated, but end up looking like a dried mop head. I've seen a couple of guys who've had their hair straightened, and then cut up properly so that it looks really good, but so many guys I've seen recently just have it straightened and then combed flat back across their head, as if to carve a drag-race track in their skull. Whenever I see these guys around I just want to go up to them and say "Ever heard of a stylist?"
