The holiday season is upon us and, once again, we are bombarded with sanguine messages of faith, family, and charity. Bah, humbug! My thoughts turn elsewhere: to commercialism, to estranged relatives forced to be civil at Christmas dinner, to ice-related traffic accidents. Oh, my mind goes to dark places.
