Still from John Water's film, "Female Trouble"

Not feeling holiday cheerful? Don’t despair — holidays are merely dates on the calendar. Before you know it, they’ll be over and done with.

Here’s confirmation that Xmas isn’t always merry — but life can still be funny or at least interesting. The Davenport family holidays, as realized by John Waters, the king cult film-making, with the help of Devine who departed from us far too soon…

Are you feeling holiday-ish?

Happiness Between Tails speaks to and from the heart. It connects lovers — of pets, authors, books — and of my still-unreleased novels, “Flamenco + the Sitting Cat” and “Tango + the Sitting Cat.” The stories are my love letters to all who fear they're too odd, too damaged, too old, too whatever to find happiness.

      1. Mine is related to having a bad fall last month and no family. My family bridges were burnt long ago and my husband’s family is in Alabama. What gets me thrilled about the season is the charities we pick this time of year. I support one teacher in the largest underserved 5th graders. Last month I received 50 cards from her students for what my donation allowed the teacher to purchase. I cried, she even sent photos of the kids. The organization is Donors.org, it’s a charity teachers submit their project request and if funded by donations the teacher and kids win. I heard yesterday someone supported over $60,000 to fund all local request. What a blessing for the children.
        I’m rambling, have a great day. 😎

  2. So very true, Christmas really is a small blip of time yet it can become such a huge deal with infinite stress.
    I love that video, made me chuckle! If only we adults could get away with such temper tantrums that kids can (minus the language, we’re already allowed as much profanity as we want)! 😉

  5. The “spirit” of the holidays (the love, the happiness, the wonder, the dreams, etc) lies in the heart… every day is a holiday on the path least traveled… 🙂
