Waiting to glimpse Santa and his reindeer streaking across the night sky out my windows, and feeling more of a wistful sadness about all the years of the obscurity of clerkmanifesto, as opposed to a more ferocious energy and confidence in its righteousness, I thought maybe now was the time to go back, as I have been occasionally doing, and bring out one of my brief essays from the years' past.
So I thumbed back through the vast volumes of my blog to a handful of Christmas Day posts from some time ago.
But you will note that you do not see them here.
And you wonder: "Were they bad?"
No, dear friend, not so much.
All those years ago they were lovely, and funny in their quiet strange way. To me at least, and who knows, maybe to you too. But I understood that they were they were just the sort of thing I would write if I wrote a new one now.
So why not just write a new one now?
And I lifted my weary head, and winked at the stars.

If you were wondering, yes, you should comment. Not only does it remind me that I must write in intelligible English because someone is actually reading what I write, but it is also a pleasure for me since I am interested in anything you have to say.
I respond to pretty much every comment. It's like a free personalized blog post!
One last detail: If you are commenting on a post more than two weeks old I have to go in and approve it. It's sort of a spam protection device. Also, rarely, a comment will go to spam on its own. Give either of those a day or two and your comment will show up on the blog.
