Coming from Cover<br />

ais not real, a lonely, sweaty fat man will be donning a suit and playing him.<br />

Most of the time they’re harmless, but sometimes they’re drunk, vulgar, bitter<br />

men who’d rather be undressing your kids than listening to them whine about<br />

toys. If you happen to get one of these perverts, make sure you give your kids<br />

extra juice boxes and remove their diapers just before sitting on Santa’s lap.<br />

Tip: Sometimes Santa’s little helpers, the elves, are equally disgruntled. To teach<br />

them a lesson as well, toss the previously removed diaper on the ground. Hopefully<br />

your kid made a doody making it an extra special find.<br />

Cancer<br />

June 22nd – July 22nd<br />

Home For The Holidays. If anyone has seen this Jodie<br />

Foster directed movie, you know what I’m talking<br />

about. Nothing means quality time with those you<br />

love more than traipsing across the country only to listen to your grandmother<br />

fart at the dinner table. I know that the holidays are all about being with those<br />

you love – your family - but let’s face it, most of us hate our families and would<br />

rather spend the holidays with Crackhead Bob. Yes, yes, I know, our families are<br />

that bad, but whatever, I’d still rather do crack.<br />

Tip: If you can’t handle 24 hours of being around kin, self medicate by any means<br />

necessary.<br />

Leo<br />

July 23rd – August 22nd<br />

If you actually like your family, it’s terribly hard and<br />

depressing being apart from them during the holidays,<br />

especially if you’re poor and can’t afford a plane ticket<br />

home. In these times, I like to gather up the rest of the misfi t toys and host<br />

a holiday dinner where, even though we can’t be with those we’d rather be<br />

with, we can at least not spend another holiday alone in the dark talking to<br />

the Care Bears.<br />

Tip: If you don’t have any friends to spend the holidays with and not even your<br />

stuffed animals want you around, volunteer. At least you’ll get to eat a decent<br />

meal while you point and laugh at the homeless.<br />

Virgo<br />

August 23rd – September 22nd<br />

God’s chosen people: the Jews. They’ve gotten the<br />

short end of the stick since their creation. It makes<br />

me wonder why, if their God’s chosen, he consistently<br />

blows them off. Not even during the holidays do people care. Actually that’s<br />

not true. I used to work at a literary agency and all the partners and agents<br />

were Jewish so we’d get off almost every single Jewish holiday, I felt like I was<br />

back in school. Go Jews!! So this year, spread a little tolerance around and hug<br />

a Jew. They don’t always feel special because most of the world hates them.<br />

Tip: If you don’t know any Jewish people to hug, find an Arab or other ethnicity<br />

whom we’ve gone to war against.<br />

Libra<br />

September 23rd – October 22nd<br />

Whenever my mom asks me what I want for<br />

Christmas, I tell her nothing. I just want to be home<br />

with my family and enjoy the little time I have with<br />

them each year. Secretly I hope she sees through me, because I’m completely<br />

lying, and through osmosis, assumes that what I really meant was that I want<br />

a new iPod or digital camera. I swear, if she doesn’t it get it for me this year, I’m<br />

going to SCREAM!!!<br />

Tip: You are never too old for temper tantrums.<br />

Scorpio<br />

October 23rd – November 21st<br />

Much like Thanksgiving, the remaining December<br />

holidays are usually accompanied by mass amounts<br />

of food and weight gain. If you haven’t had gastric<br />

bypass surgery like most lazy overweight Americans, chances are you’re going<br />

to put a few on this holiday season. To avoid that, eat your holiday meal at<br />

someone’s house who’s an incredibly bad cook. It’s an extra bonus if they have<br />

a dirty house or ugly kids.<br />

Tip: If you can’t find anyone who’s a bad cook who’s willing to invite you over, visit<br />

a homeless shelter. Usually the E. coli will kill any appetite you’ve had and you<br />

might even lose weight, if you don’t die.<br />

Don’t get caught unprepared<br />

A<br />

recent study by LIMRA International revealed that twenty-five percent of U.S.<br />

households do not have a plan in place to maintain their standard of living if the<br />

primary wage earner died tomorrow. Equally alarming is the number of business<br />

owners without a continuity plan. What happens to the business if key people are<br />

unable to work due to illness, disability or death? If you have planned properly,<br />

nothing, if not, your business could be lost.<br />

Proper planning requires the guiding hand of a dedicated professional to best meet the<br />

client’s needs and future goals. Located in the heart of Old Town Pasadena, Axiom Diversified<br />

Inc., offers personalized insurance and financial services, employee and executive<br />

benefits, and business continuity planning to help avoid being caught unprepared.<br />
