Bah Humbug
Time for my annual Christmas whine. This is the second one in existince, and boy oh boy, its gonna be good. For those of you who aren't familiar with the subject, its when I bitch about Christmas, and how my parents are seeking desperatly to ruin my two week vacation.
First to bitch about Christmas. What the hell is the big deal? Its all man made!!! The Catholic church has no real proof he was born on Dec. 25, so stop it. Good, you're remembering the son of God who forgave all your sins, but: a)do it quietly, and b)shouldn't you always be doing that? Also, Jesus never said, "And tho shall give each other presents, for that is what tho shall do!" Thats pure fabrication too! Just so the stores can sell more of their products.
But I suppose the second part is the part that bothers me more. I've always thought of Christmas less of a birthday celebration of Christ, but as a time when my family gets together and has fun...so much for that happening. My parents have decided to both show up for the Christmas pagent (opposite sides of the room, yeh yeh!) and I get shipped back and forth from house to house, I think, 10 times in 2 weeks. Heres the plan for Christmas day... 24th (Christmas Eve) Dad's house, 25th (Christmas) Mother's house. Boxing Day, go with my dad to Toronto. 28th, return with my dad from Toronto, go directly to mom's, do not pass go. 31st, GO TO TORONTO WITH MY DAD AGAIN!!! and then I return home so I can go back to my every second day at my mother's and all other days at my dad's.
