It's T-5 to the big day, eh?
The one with the jolly old man, the one that wears too much red and has too much time and money on his hands?
Yup, It's Christmas time. *Cue Play tape of Off-key voices singing carols*
The Commercial Holiday for the Ages.
What better way to cash in on the merriment of others than a buy one ugly plastic tree and get a smorgasbord of gaudy lights, that can cause your house to short circuit, free.
IT'S A CHRISTMAS MIRACLE!
The rich are getting richer, the poor are getting poorer and the media is getting the largest slice of pie. Whoopee.
What happened to Good ol' Christmas?
You know the one with having family home cooked dinners and surprising people with gifts?
What happened to the holiday humanitarian spirit?
What happened to REAL people standing out in the cold, yelling carols in off-key voices?
Sighhh. The individualistic, materialistic, metallic heart that pumps adrenaline into the blood of men has killed the Christmas Spirit. Chalk out an outline of Santa. REAL Christmas is dead. (Unless you're an eight year old girl - in that case, Santa is real, Christmas is NOT dead, and eat your veggies.)
So do me a favour folks and do something good this Christmas. Restore my faith in the human race. Make a donation. Help out at a shelter. Or just don't splurge out with Christmas as an excuse.
Christmas, or any holiday for that matter, is about being with friends and family, cherishing what you have and being thankful for it.
So, go ahead. Say Thank you.
And then be good and crawl into bed.
And pretend to sleep and maybe something good will drop into your stocking.
