Yes, it’s that time of year again, when every blogger takes time out of the schedule to produce a post about Christmas or whatever Happy Holiday you celebrate. Truth be told I spent the past two weeks trying to think of something I could write about as well. But every time I had a half-decent idea worth doing I would stop myself because it never felt quite right.
Instead of writing I found myself doing other activities, much as anyone else does when trying to avoid work. It got to the point where I realized that it would be easier to show you the things I was doing instead of writing a Christmas blog post than to actually write a Christmas blog post. So, that’s what I’ve done here.
As always, you’re welcome.
Here are five ways you can avoid having to write a Christmas blog post.
1. Take a nap
Because we all need to hibernate rest a bit more in the winter months.
2. Go sledding
It helps if there is snow, otherwise you may be disappointed a bit in this one.
3. Bubble bath
Who doesn’t like to relax in a nice, hot bath with bubbles?
4. Go for a swing
Get outside for some fresh air!
5. Go for coffee
A little caffeine can get those brain cells moving again!
I realize that these five things may not work best for everyone. Do whatever feels right for you. Go caroling if you want, or check your mailbox for Christmas cards, or string some maple-bacon-whiskey popcorn balls together. Whatever works for you.
But it helps if you have the right hat.
Merry Christmas everyone.

#6: Be Jewish. Then you only have to figure out how to write a blog post for that other holiday we call “Thursday”.
But if I were Jewish I’d have bigger issues trying to keep the whole “feast-or-fast” straight on top of avoiding writing posts for the 27 different Jewish holidays.
Only 27? that’s for the noobs.
And you’d have to find a blog for 8 days of Chanukah, and BlogElul (http://edibletorah.com/category/elul-2/) and Blogging the Omer (http://edibletorah.com/category/omer/) and if you choose to Blog Exodus (http://imabima.blogspot.com/search/label/%23blogexodus), not to mention if you want to blog about the daily page of Talmud (http://www.dafyomi.org/)
Yeah, best to deal with what you have.
Exactly. All that procrastination sounds like work.
That Santa hat bubble bath pic is the biggest piece of click bait I’ve ever seen! I tried to look away & not click, but I just couldn’t.
Ha! I’m sure there’s better click bait than me in a bubble bath, it’s the Internet! Perhaps a picture of Grumpy Cat wearing a santa hat in a bubble bath?
OR You holding Grumpy Cat wearing a santa hat in a bubble bath while also wearing a santa hat in a bubble bath!
I don’t think the internet could handle that much awesomeness!
