How about a timeout?

It would be nice if the world took a Christmas or Hanukkah break this year, or even just took a timeout, period.

It won’t happen, but it would be nice.

However, and in spite of all the titillating tweet-bait and outright lunacy that makes great fodder for bloggers, including the ones working for your favorite media outlets, this blog is going to take its own advice and take a break until Monday.

All right, all right, if an asteroid should hit the earth or something equally earth-shattering happens that might merit a paragraph or two. Nobody’s perfect.

In the meantime, why not join me?

Call your parents, hug your kids, play with your dog or just go knock back a few with friends, and enjoy the season.

Merry Christmas and Happy Hanukkah!
