Egad. One down, one more to go. I hate big holidays
because the big ones
are actually three in one: Blah Eve, Blah itself, and After-Blah
Sales Day.
On Blah Eve, my wife expects me to pay attention to her. That
means lots of
kisses and lip service. I wonder if the word Eve being the
name of the first
gal had something to do with this.
On the Blah Day, my wife expects me to pay attention to the
family. In modern
terms, this means doing far more TV watching than my usual 30
minutes a day.
The worst part is that TV programming really sucks on such
days. Radio is even
worse.
On the After-Blah Sales Day, my wife expects me to be
invisible. Actually she
is the one that does the disappearing act from dawn til dusk.
If I happen to
get up too early, I get the deathray look. This morning, I
got up just as she
was putting on her shoes to go out shopping. Oops.

The Blogosphere and the Holidays

First, if this time of year makes you cheerful, have a happy.
I'm pretty ambivalent. There are some things I like and some things I
don't. I see the pressure to buy for what it is. Pressure, which I
don't like, and commercialism, which I also don't like. I love buying
nice things, but almost no one knows how to do that for me like I do.
I suspect that's true of everyone.
One of the things I like about this time of year is that so
many people seem to have a time to do interesting and fun things. It's
like everyone gets a mini-sabbatical. It's time to go to a game, to
the movies, a museum, out to a long lunch or visit with a few bloggers
you haven't stayed in touch with. Next week I'm going to be in NYC.
Maybe there will be an opportunity to do some or all of that.
Randy Charles Morin sent a question about this. Does the
blogosphere pick up or go on holiday during the holidays? Here's what
I said.
1. I don't have any data, but I do have subjectives.
2. The actual flow goes down, around the 25th way down.
3. But the volume of real work goes up, because people have
time for projects that require attention or thinking, which they have
more of in the coming two-three weeks.
I've done some of my best work in this period in years past. My
first two XML projects, siteChanges.xml and scriptingNews format
(which became half of RSS 0.91) were hatched in December. Last year in
this time period I helped my parents get through a tough time. I was
telling my brother yesterday that I have fond memories of this, it
gave me a strong sense of purpose, and a sense that I made a
difference. That also happened during the holidays last year.
So mostly the holidays are good. I especially like it when
stress isn't a big part of it.

12/24/2003 08:10 PMMost major religions have some sort of holiday during this season, and
in countries that use the Gregorian calendar many companies close down
or work short hours until the current year ends and the next one
begins. We, too, will be taking time off to spend with our families
and friends, so NewsForge will be on a reduced posting schedule
between now and January 1.

Winter holidays in Russia.
12/22/2003 10:06 PMIn Russia, winter holidays are celebrated somewhat differently than in
the United States and most of the West. Although the underlying
substance of the winter holidays -- presents, trees, family
gatherings -- is the same, it corresponds to different holidays and
customs. This results from a blend of Russian national tradition,
the influence of Eastern Orthodox heritage and of course, Soviet
secularisation. There is a lot more to be said about this than is
actually practical, so I would like to focus on two axial aspects
that sit comfortably within my sphere of knowledge: New Year and the
custom of giving presents. The latter topic is a little more
editorial than encyclopedic, but please bear with me. Also, please
understand that none of this information is in any way
"authoritative." I tell you all this as a Russian immigrant, not as a
cultural anthropologist or otherwise a person bearing any
credentials or officialdom.

Are Paperless Holidays Good?
Are Paperless Holidays Good?
12/15/2003 03:33 AMNow that the holiday season is in full swing, some are wondering if
the trend to move away from paper holiday cards and letters is
taking away from the
concept. If it's the thought that counts, does it count less when
the end result is easier/cheaper or less personalized? Part of this
sounds like typical complaining about the "less personal" feel of some
new technologies. Just like many things, I think it has advantages
and disadvantages. Certainly, in some instances it seems less
personal. Also, going completely electronic means that some people
will never see your message thanks to spam filters and fear of
viruses. However, it also can make it easier to communicate with some
people. Already this year I've received two electronic holiday notes
from friends who I'm sure I wouldn't have heard from otherwise. The
ease of email/web communications made sure I got included and lets me
know what they're up to, and reminds me to drop them a separate note
to see how they're doing. While it would be great if we could all
write deeply personal notes to everyone we know, the ease of internet
communications makes it possible to stay in touch with those who
you're not as close with, but who are still worth keeping as friends.
