(S5) - PT 2 - Holiday Cheer

[SwagSloth]

Christmas is a great time of year in New Orleans. Eric Kennedy always enjoyed catching up and spending time with family, sharing gifts, and taking in the festive aura of the season. Traditional Christmas cooking combined with a cajun flair was always special. And, of course, who can forget the sounds of Christmas? As someone who’s never worked retail before, Kennedy was still a fan of Christmas music, including both nationally known classic and the local New Orleans favorites, such as the “12 Yats of Christmas”. It was a great time for everyone.

Only Kennedy isn’t New Orleans these days. Not in December. He’s in Yellowknife, Canada. And he loves it for 9-10 months out of the year, but December is not one of those months. Because it’s @#$%ing freezing outside! Do you want to look up the temperature today? It’s negative -22!!! The only sensible way for Canadians to celebrate Christmas is to hibernate. So, Kennedy doesn’t do anything for Christmas. Not in person, at least. He still interacts with family and friends online. He mails gifts out for other to enjoy. He’s even got the 12 Yats on his ipod, but all of those things occur in-doors. Because -22 degrees. @#$% you, Canada. @#$% you.
