Sexy, Happy Holidays

So stick up ivy and the bays,
And then restore the heathen ways,
Green will remind you of the Spring,
Though this great day denies the thing,
And mortifies the earth, and all
But your wild revels, and loose hall.
Henry Vaughan, 17th cent. Poet

Dear Readers: This is a slightly rewritten version of my '06 holiday message. Why mess with a good thing?

I’m in a silly holiday mood. Something about this time of the year brings out my inner child. Girl wants to play, exchange presents by a warm fire, share holiday cheer with friends and family and generously spread love and joy everywhere! (Note to self: GET MORE MISTLETOE!)

This is a seriously stressful time of year (is everyone exhausted yet?), so it’s important to let your inner kid come out and play (oh please, oh please!). Here are a few suggestions (your mileage may vary): make naked snow angels--but only if you have a hot tub for “after,” sing Winter Wonderland too loud (on/off key is totally optional), get a massage, take a luxurious bath, buy something frivolous. In short, be sure to put yourself on your own gift list, too (For me?! It’s just what I wanted! How did you know?).

Don’t forget the coming attractions: Further exploration of Dr. J's Top 10 Couples' Concerns. In the meantime, my best wishes to one and all for a very joyous holiday season. Remember to play safe with that Santa!

With Pleasure, Dr. J
