... On the Spirit of Xmas · 2005-11-26
The day after Thanksgiving traditionally marks the beginning of the holiday season. But things have changed. Christmas used to celebrate the birth of god’s son. And not it has somehow morphed into some reclusive fat guy who hangs out with little people in his secret land of make believe. Kinda like Michael Jackson with a gland problem.
The abundant spirit of giving undoubtedly remains with us all for at least as long as the turkey left-overs right? And yet, just a few hours after we gathered with our families to celebrate our thankfulness some people rushed down to their local Wal-Mart and shoved, kicked, stomped, and trampled over our their neighbors. For what? All to get a good deal on a plasma TV.
Now Xmas can mean not only the smell of chestnuts roasting on an open fire but also pepper spray and mace.
Happy Holidays and Season’s Beatings!!
