So, christmas is over. Thank goodness. No more fake smiles from people I barely know. No more hollow well-wishers expecting me to be all cheery and bushy tailed raring to go.
I don't get the whole xmas thing anyway. How corporations got their clingy little mitts on it is just dumbfounding. Let's see, I have an idea. Let's take the pagan festival of solstice, turn it into Jesus's birthday, bring in a fat saint, dress him like satan, build his name from the same letters, bring in some flying reindeer, some slave labor elves, and an animated stack of snow. We'll make millions.
If I want to buy someone a gift, I will buy them a gift. I don't need a special day. If I want to be nice to someone, I don't need a special day. If I don't like you, I'm not going to be nice to you just because "tis the season". Arg!!! What the fuck is wrong with people?
But, enough of that. I do hope that those of you that celebrate the whole holiday thing had a wonderful and happy day with family and friends. Seriously, I do. No, really. I'm not joking.
