Are you sure it's not the other way round?

Sounds like you're hoping for a lobotomy.
Hmmm. Maybe you've got something there . . .

People, in general, stopping being worthless bastards all year round and then spend a few weeks in December, grinning as though they were decent human beings; being nice to people they wouldn't even bother to piss on during the rest of the year.
So, what do I want?
Spare us all and pick an option:
>Preferred: Holiday spirit, as it is called, should last all year. People need kindness all year round.
Alternative: Spare us the pretense. Let your one sincere good deed, at least, be a reduction in hypocrisy.
There is no "season of giving" when people are in need all year round. Overspending and decorating things with little lights for a few weeks doesn't "fix it" for the rest of the year.
Because, if this current custom of conspicuous consumption is acceptable, one must draw the conclusion that Ebenezer Scrooge had it right the first time: "Bah, Humbug[^]".

Or more crucially a life that would allow me to look after a dog.
There is only one conceivable way that this could happen: retirement.
There is only one way that I could conceivably retire: my thus-far entirely non-productive Premium Bonds turn out to have been saving themselves for the big one.
The odds aren't looking too good 
So, failing that, I'll settle for a nice drop of Remy Martin and a Doctor Who DVD like I do every other Christmas.

My boss brings his dogs to work on occasion and our one of our developers brings his almost every day. Just gotta find the right place. It's awesome when clients come in and see the dogs. They play with them and everything... kinda like you when you use a cute little puppy to pick up a girl  And most of the clients are million dollar or more companies.

Trust me - you don't want sheep. Stupid animals prone to terrible diseases that can die from just rolling over onto their backs.
Pigs, yes. Especially outdoor-capable ones like a Gloucester old-spot.

You follow her to wherever she is going and pretend that's where you wanted her to go.

Farming these days is one of the hot hi-tech areas. It's one of the biggest venture capital investment targets in Canada, and lots of acquisitions by the big chemical conglomerates. Satellite imaging, in situ monitoring, drone tractors, water and nitrogen management, commodity futures and yield predictions, genetic engineering, fields worth millions of dollars, it ain't Green Acres anymore.
If you don't have an internet connection the best you can hope for is to eke out minimum wage selling some "organic" specialty crop (no stems, no seeds) to geriatric hippies.

ha ha .. Santa can arrange this perhaps, with some work on your part :
1. come to Australia,
2. go bush (get out into the country)
3. find a farm for sale - chances are the phone line, ADSL, WiFi and mobile are rubbish (which is why the farm is for sale and the previous owners gone to the city, where .. guess what phone line, ADSL, WiFi and mobile are still rubbish .. just people pretend they work )
OK, so a little overly cynical, there are some good places and not everyone's phone lines are stuffed.
Merry Christmas

Every body Pauses and stares at me
These two teeth are gone as you can see
I don't know just who to blame for this catastrophe!
But my one wish on Christmas Eve is as plain as it can be!
All I want for Christmas
is my two front teeth,
my two front teeth,
see my two front teeth!
Gee, if I could only
have my two front teeth,
then I could wish you
"Merry Christmas."
It seems so long since I could say,
"Sister Susie sitting on a thistle!"
Gosh oh gee, how happy I'd be,
if I could only whistle (thhhh, thhhh)
All I want for Christmas
is my two front teeth,
my two front teeth,
see my two front teeth.
Gee, if I could only
have my two front teeth,
then I could wish you
"Merry Christmas!"
Bad command or file name. Bad, bad command! Sit! Stay! Staaaay...

thee shall get no gift of teeth
those you had were shakin', sheesh!
shirley them teeth weren't pretty
they're both now gone, what a pity
had you been one bit wiser
you'd have at least one incisor
oh, why did you mess with yer wife
yer smile will now suck for life
she's taken 'em both with one punch
with your gums you're gonna munch
those two were the last left there
now your gums are all but bare

Oh wise Griff, get some hold
All of us will get old
This teeth problem that you have
is not one but two fold
you can't eat some good stuff
though that's fine you ate 'nuff
just swallow food and worry about
no teeth chattering when it's cold
there's still a way to fine dine
just get them dentures
and it will be fine
plus you also get to smile like a boss
for such a small thing why bother Santa Claus?

But the Raven, sitting lonely on the placid bust, spoke only
That one word, as if his soul in that one word he did outpour.
Nothing farther then he uttered—not a feather then he fluttered—
Till I scarcely more than muttered “Other friends have flown before—
On the morrow he will leave me, as my Hopes have flown before.”
Then the bird said “Nevermore.”
