So, like, I had the Christmas Spirit. It started with the tail end of the Macy’s Thanksgiving Parade. I know, it’s commercial and I didn’t recognize half the people on the floats, but it’s still fun to watch while working on Thanksgiving dinner and I can’t help but get excited when Santa’s sleigh comes into view. I was getting really excited after watching the Charlie Brown Christmas Special and Polar Express (really good movie-see it if you get the chance) and was beginning to think the “all Christmas carol all the time” radio station was a good idea.
Then I got crappy Christmas crafts overload from TV-I actually saw a little snowman made from three white Styrofoam balls hot-glued together. Let me mention that kitsch is my kryptonite. P.S. He had a thumbtack for a hat.
But what finally sucked the joy of the season right out of me?
I listened to the people who insist that the nations retail employees should say “Merry Christmas” instead of “Happy Holidays” just to see what they had to say-you know to be fair and all. Big mistake. I’m not expressing my opinion on this because I can’t discuss this topic without using words like morons, blowhards, or Nazis.
I’m trying to scrape together some enthusiasm, but it’s not looking good.
Poop. That is all.
