Well, it's December, and that means only one thing: Either you are filled with "holiday spirit" or you are deemed to be the most despicable person ever.
However, for those of you who can't quite bring yourself to maintain a delusional euphoria for an entire month and can't overlook the recession and the bailouts and layoffs, and who find the unrelenting over-commercialization of Xmas too overwhelming to muster any reason for joy, just remember this:
In January it will stop.
In a few short weeks the calendar will change and we can all resume openly acknowledging how screwed we are. The Pollyannas will have gotten their "peace on earth, goodwill toward men" fix, and all the energy-hogging decorations will come down, and admitting to being in a less-than-good mood will be perfectly acceptable again.
And for those who are filled with Christmas cheer: It's the most wonderful time of the year. It's the most wonderful time of the year. It's the most wonderful time of the year. It's the most wonderful time of the year. It's the most wonderful time of the year. It's the most wonderful time of the year. It's the most wonderful time of the year. It's the most wonderful time of the year. It's the most wonderful time of the year. It's the most wonderful time of the year. It's the most wonderful time of the year. It's the most wonderful time of the year. It's the most wonderful time of the year. It's the most wonderful time of the year. It's the most wonderful time of the year. It's the most wonderful time of the year. It's the most wonderful time of the year. It's the most wonderful time of the year. It's the most wonderful time of the year. It's the most wonderful time of the year. It's the most wonderful time of the year. It's the most wonderful time of the year. It's the most wonderful time of the year. It's the most wonderful time of the year. It's the most wonderful time of the year. It's the most wonderful time of the year. It's the most wonderful time of the year...

ReplyDeleteBut what's more despicable that a stampede of greey shoppers trampling to death an employee at Walmart? Maybe Walmart for its ads creating such a feedy frenzy.

PS: If it's the most wonderful time of the year, why am I so miserable? Long dark nights, short gray days, the cold white misery of winter...
Holiday Jeer from Plattsburgh, NY. Only 10 degrees F outside.
Correction: That should have read greedy shoppers and a feeding frenzy.
ReplyDeleteThen again, feeding and greedy = feedy.
