I, for one, am glad that the holidays come around *once* per year
I've been in the kitchen all day, baking cakes and cookies for Christmas. My American family demands European (where I'm from) delicacies, so I find myself making the most difficult baked goods known to man. I just finished the crown jewel: a *real* Sachertorte...or at least as real as I can make it, seeing as how the recipe is a closely-guarded secret.



Oh, and to top it off, it was 74 freaking degrees (?!!??) outside today, which made my kitchen even more unbearable.

1. The holidays are out of hand.
If the holidays are going to be this big, they should be done only once every four years, like the Olympics.

4. Once a lifetime.
As Voltaire said, "Once a philosopher; twice, a pervert."
