Round Yon Virgin?

So I haven't written much in the past few weeks because I've been too busy going from bed to the gym, to work, to rehearsals/concerts, to the mall, and then back to bed. I've been stressed for the Christmas season before, but I'm pretty sure this is the first year I've really wanted to just yell "Bah, humbug!" at everybody and everything.

In other news, I have been roped into playing the Virgin Mary in the Christmas Pageant at the church I work at. I'm not even sure I'm getting paid for this, and it's really making me super bitter. Of all the people to play Mary, am I, the pagan, living in sin with my fiancé, really the right person to be playing the mother of Christ? I suppose, since Mary is really an embodiment of the Goddess, I'm not really being untrue to my own beliefs. I just hope the baby Jesus (yes, we're using a real live newborn in the pageant) doesn't spit up on me.
