The other day, I was getting grumpy because the building I work in is now completely decorated for Christmas. I was grumbling about "blah blah commercialism blah blah holiday stress blah blah can't they even wait until after Thanksgiving blah blah."

And then the next morning, as I was riding up the escalator from the BART station, I looked up at the sky and saw God.

He was all big and glowy and smiling. (He's not really a "he," by the way. I just call him that.)

And I said, "Wassup God? I don't see you like this in the financial district very often."

And he said, "Well, they only invite me once a year." He pointed to the Christmas tree in the lobby of my building.

Ancient magic takes a long time to die. "Christmas Trees" were designed to be lightening rods for God.

Happy Thanksgiving!
