I'll shoot my writing eye out!

Working on my annual Christmas column. It's not easy, finding something that's not too cliche'd but that I haven't covered before. Actually, I'm not sure it's possible to write a Christmas piece that isn't cliche'd; has there been any new Christmas writing that's not overly sentimental since "The Charlie Brown Christmas Special"? Maybe "A Christmas Story", but that's based on a story that dates back to the 60's.

On the other hand, for Christmas I think we can be excused a little sentimentality.

  3. My Christmas one will, inevitably, be heavy on the pics and light on the sentimentality...

  4. I've gotten out of the habit of posting pics with my columns ... I should get back to that, everyone loves a good image.
