Ho Hum New Year

By J.D. Walker

John Parnassus is not a fan of the holidays. In fact, he'd punch Rudolph in the nose if he could. He doesn't believe in love, men, or the 'holiday spirit' -- he's still bitter after his ex left him two years ago on Christmas morning. To him, the holidays are all a sham. Take a chance on love? Never again.

John's friend Sally gives him a gentle kick in the ass to get out of his rut and try something new, starting at the office New Year’s party. He expects the same thing as last year: drunken mistletoe antics and a sore head the next morning.

Then he meets Tim Hinton, a coworker from the IT department. Surprised to find they have common ground, John is drawn to someone for the first time in years. Should he make a move, or endure another ho hum New Year?

Ho Hum New Year

By J.D. Walker

Honestly, if I hear another song about sleigh bells, I’m going to lose it. Exactly who thought it would be a good idea to make candy-coated craptastic songs glorifying a fat man who uses reindeer to bring ‘cheer’ to the planet? Isn’t that animal cruelty?
