[spiritofvelma]

i don't know about all of spain, but at least in barcelona, and i think in all of catalanya they have some special traditions. because you probably won't believe me if i just write it in my own words i've copied and pasted the descriptions from a website on christmas in barcelona. this is what it said

What's the difference between Santa, anti-dog-eat-dog capitalism or some log shits christmas all over everything?

[spiritofvelma]

well at least santa and the capitalism have a little bit of self respect. i mean seriously, let's think of the most disgusting, immature aspect of the human body, and associate that with the spirit of christmas...charming

Heey-did you ever get the letter I sent you? I only put one stamp on it (I realized that as I dropped it in the big blue box), so I'm afraid its going to get sent back to me sometime soon.

i got a letter...it had pictures of scottish hipsters and the blue lagoon on it. much appreciated. is that the one?

by the way, did i ever tell you my sister and her boyfriend watched that at my apt one night (he was lured by the brooke shields nudiness). but then all the sex and penises freaked him out. i think he thinks i'm a perv now. no one understands us megan. no one.

Yes! That was the one. I need to write you more, especially since I write such fun letters....

Rachie, we just have a more open view on sexuality in films. Call us liberated, call us free spirits, but some people just can't take it. On the same note, I regret we never watched this together, but go out and rent "Summer Lovers". It's about an american couple (a young and feisty peter gallagher and super hot daryl hannah) who go to Greece for the summer, and things get a little naked when sexy and exotic Lena shows up. Rent it and think of us!

You should read the story in David Sedaris's new book. It is about the Dutch (I think...) tradition of Santa and his companions six to 8 black men, who used to be slaves, but now are friends. He also kicks the bad kids, and if they are really bad, kidnaps them, and takes them away.
