Warning: Writer in a very bitchy mood
So if you're a Santa in Sydney you can no longer say ho ho ho. I'm sorry, but that's really fucking stupid. There are no other words. Really, what is wrong with people! It's Santa Claus.
This reminds me of a friend of mine, who has kids, who doesn't do the Santa Claus thing because her New Church of Christ or whatever, doesn't allow it. And that kills me, because by all accounts if Jesus was a real person he was born in the Spring. It's a well known fact that the Church picked the day of Christmas to give a Christian holiday when so many pagan holidays and traditions were alive and well during the Winter Solstice. The spirit of Christmas is Santa Claus, the idea of giving and joy and peace. Most of the Christmas traditions we have in America are based off cultural beliefs as opposed to Christian ones (hello! Christmas Tress, Holly and the Ivy, Wreaths, the food and the drink of the times). People, there's a reason why it is a season and not a day. Just...grrrr.
Sorry, it's been one of those days. I was screamed at by customers three times in a row before 10am and then was forced to go outside and de-plate cars in the pouring rain.
In other news: One assignment turned in, big term paper still looming. Due monday, still have the weekend, but yeah, stressed and therefore bitching about random things.
Just finished watching CSI..man that was sort of boring and anti-climatic. I was expecting something a bit more.
But there is a great thing: darkangel_ahria I just got your postcard! ::hugs:: Thank you!
EDIT: Dear CBS Boston Weatherman,
Charlotte is NOT the Deep South. It's not even the Old South. The Deep South is Mississippi, Alabama, Louisana. The Old South is GA, South Carolina, and yes, some parts of North Carolina, VA and WV (TN, KY can be debated). When discussing weather patterns going to Charlotte, NC you are not in the deep south, the south yes, but not the deep south. Then again, people in New England seem to think Washington, D.C. is the south. ::rolls eyes::
