Folks, you might think that I’m a big fan of Christmas, seeing as how all kinds of people are always wanting to give me gifts, especially this time of year. Well, true, the gifts do come my way, and I appreciate the love from my fans, especially in the form of gift certificates or money orders, but here’s the thing: Dr. Matt is not without his hang-ups, and the Christmas season is one of them.

Folks, maybe Christmas isn’t so bad. I know what you’re saying: “Dr. Matt, why would it be bad at all?” I admit, I may have treated Christmas like my alcoholic sister that I shake my head at, and have a hard time loving her for who she is. Sure, Christmas sometimes breaks my DVD player, or talks to the tabloids about an incident in Thailand. Yet, at the same time, Christmas can be wonderful and fun, and sometimes doesn’t drink at all.

And Christmas also has you, my fans, and that makes it special. But you know what else I realized? You also get me for Christmas, and the thought of how special that makes your Christmas is heart-warming to me. Merry Christmas to all ya’ll, and may the years ahead continue to bring you more and more of me.

Sincerely,
Dr. Matt*
