Here is Jodi’s Christmas 2022 Message:
“The Happiest Season of All
One thing SJ and I wholeheartedly agree on: This is the best time of the year.
The holiday experience varies for the women at Perryville, but most are in a better mood, enjoying the cooler Sonora Desert and loading up on Christmas commissary items.
To prevent anyone from harshing my own holiday cheer, I adopt a zero-tolerance policy for anyone exhibiting drama, rudeness, disrespect — pick a noun, any noun. They’re all banned. People are free to behave how they want, but those in my circle exhibiting such traits are banished until after the New Year. I simply decline to entertain their negativity. This time is too fleeting to let it slip by while being distracted by muttering malcontents.
My last roommate was a Christian fundamentalist of some kind who didn’t celebrate Christmas because of the holiday’s Pagan beginnings. I thought, Pagan beginnings? Yes, I’ve read Dan Brown’s novels. So what? Get me some sparkling ornaments and shimmery plastic tinsel then point me to the nearest fake evergreen and I will show you a decorated tree.
Really, though, I love everything secular about Christmas:
I appreciate fancy marketing and free enterprise. I enjoy walking into a mall draped in garland and twinkling with lights while faint yuletide carols waft through speakers unseen. I miss entering Michaels, with its holiday craft supplies and Christmas fluff strewn about, or seeing a barista decked in a Santa hat while he or she makes my favorite hot drink.
Post-Halloween, many obnoxious TV commercials are recast in warmth with their pleasant holiday jingles. Cheesy Hallmark movies inspire daydreams of a brighter future. Even the Golden State Warriors have tipped off every Christmas Day since I became an avid fan of the team several years ago.
The merriment is everywhere.
This morning while cleaning my room, I listened to Christmas music instead of my usual Coffee Break German podcast. (Ja, ich lerne Deutsch.) I love holiday tunes and I confess: Sometimes I jam to them in the middle of June. Off season, I also enjoy rewatching Jim Carrey’s brilliant and hilarious interpretation of The Grinch.
I’m aware that not everyone shares my rosy views about the season, and their reasons are valid. Hey, I’ve been through some crap, too. It’s not a contest, but if it were, I’d take home the bronze medal at least.
My cheer is not forced or false. It is intentional. These cooler desert days are a limited resource within my finite life. Each year, they are gone too soon. I do not waste them.
May you also find joy during this season. Your life is good. Go appreciate it!
Merry Christmas, Happy Hanukkah, Happy Kwanza, Happy holidays — Happy Merry Everything!”

ArtByJodiArias.com – UPDATE
Jodi’s personal efforts to raise money for her appeals continue through the production of her art, which is sold at ArtbyJodiArias.com. Her art admin supports her efforts by running this “side hustle” of sorts on her behalf and taking none of the funds. The time and effort he devotes to this process (filing the taxes, trips to the post office every week to ship art) are an invaluable contribution.
If you are interested in another way to contribute to the cause, any purchase at ArtbyJodiArias.com is a legitimate way to support Jodi. You can also check out Jodi’s art on Instagram @ArtbyJodiArias.

I wish you a very Merry Christmas, and a safe, peaceful, prosperous & awesome 2023.
