Wow, now this is a christmas gift that will keep on giving for as long as I draw breath! Thank you Robert for this, I will reproduce it with attribution in all of my future holiday correspondence.

And the creative fee rant is perfect, perhaps I will forward this to all of the cheap bastard clients who have the nerve to say, “we’ll give you credit!” in lieu of money.

Merry, Happy and all that yick-yack!

I get a warm feeling from all the bitterness. It is reassuring. People can be normal if you just let them express themselves honestly. Don’t get me wrong, Christmas can be great, but just get off the “it has to be perfect” crap and get on with actually seeing the people you want to see. I think everyone should throw the “Christmas Script” out. Unless you have kids, then it is for them a special time, and completely new, so revel in that.

Finally somebody I can relate to on Christmas. I even wrote a quick blog about it on my own site, but Harlan worded it much better than I.
