Bah Humbug!

   What's so great about X-Mas anyways? Really?! No one really likes it, except the children. We should just call it Kid-Mas. The whole thing is based on a birth of a particular child anyways. ( I try to steer clear of religion in my blogs, so I won't elaborate)

   Seriously though, is there anything just "Oh So Awesome" about X-Mas anymore? It seems to be just another marketing tool to get you to buy a BMW. If fact the whole damn holiday has turned into an Add Executive's wet dream. Shit, I even saw an add a few years ago telling you to buy Pepto-Bismo, cause that's what Santa uses when he gets the runs. It's pretty disgusting, when you get right down to it.

   So what is so great about X-Mas? Is it the yearly argument you get into with that one aunt that no one gets. ( or are you the aunt no one gets?) Is it the guilty feelings you have for not making enough money to get your friends and family all the things the televisions tell you you're supposed to? Is it the psychotic thoughts you have while shopping in Target, Wal-Mart, The Mall, or any other facility where that person outside will not stop with that insistent ringing of the bell? You better give them money too, are Santa's gonna let his reindeer use your chimney as a port-a-pot.

   Maybe you're single, like me. maybe you've been dumped. Maybe I'm that just a jaded bastard that is just sniveling at his keyboard right now. Maybe it's the people like us that have this cynical way of looking at X-Mas and all the rest of ya, are "living the dream" right now. Ok, then why did they guy with his girl try to run me down because I couldn't limp out of the way of his parking spot fast enough.Why is that Mother with the 2 kids looking like she's about to rip out her hair and the dad looks like he's about to burn the joint down. Why is Suzie Home Maker making herself a Double Gin an Tonic with a side of Prozac right now? Why is this the number one time of the year when one will choose to Swan Dive off the tallest building rather than dealing with one more sugar cookie, or another Red Necks version of "12 Days Of Christmas"?
 
Maybe it's just me ... But I call BULLSHIT! I think you've all been had! X-Mas is no longer that joyous occasion, where people are generous and kind to each other. Where people celebrate the joy of giving, or families come together because they genuinely love each other. No! It's a time of DUI's and shoplifting. It's another excuse for the rich to get richer, and the poor to feel even shitier then they already do. It's a war commercial. It's a reason you have to buy her that necklace or she's gonna leave ya for some scrub in the desert with a tent and a bucket. It's 2 Alke-Selter, 6 Advils, a roll of Tums and one hell of a hanger over on the First of January, with everyone agreeing on one thing .... Thank God that we don't have to deal with that again for a whole year!

I'm just saying.
