Stateside here & it's pretty much morgue like after the 15th or so. I'm touring 4 December til the 18th ~ only bc I had some appts already those last few days ~ & then I'm off til 6 January. I've found it's just useless trying work around Christmas; everyone's with their families (naturally) & man, do the freaks & cheapskates come out at the holidays *shudder*. More than usual, I mean.
