Dee Tenorio's picture

Not so fun traditions...

When I was growing up, one thing never failed to happen during the holidays. I would always, without question, be horribly ill during at least one. I'm not kidding. Every year.
I usually got through Turkey Day okay. Like the gentle welcome of small pox infected blankets, Turkey Day would lull me into thinking this would be the year that I didn't get sick. Call it Turkey Delusions.
Sometimes, I'd make it all the way to Christmas Eve without so much as a cold. I'd be excited. Confident. Then I'd wake up and want to die on Christmas. Then I'd be coughing up organs all the way to New Years.
