It would be different if anyone remembered why we are supposed to “celebrate”. We were supposed to celebrate the birth of the only mortal incarnation of a supreme being; the only human incarnation of the deity that supposedly created humankind and gave it free will. Then out of ‘love beyond all understanding” gave us the mortal incarnation to take the punishment for the evil we chose with our free will so we wouldn’t have to suffer just and eternal retribution.
But what is the “buzz” all about for this sacred season? Hundreds of thousands of bank accounts put at risk because of a security breach ay fucking Target. Money. it’s all about fucking money. People clawing each other during “Black Friday”. kids having temper tantrums over getting a book to read instead of an X-box on Christmas morning. Trees with flashing lights. Fuck it, I could live quite comfortably for the rest of my life if I had what people spent on recycled wrapping paper a the Dollar stores in my city alone.
Why didn’t this “all loving” deity just leave us alone to kill each other off hundreds of years ago so I wouldn’t have even been born? I am of no use to anyone, and helpless to to make my own life bearable. And if I want out I have to go through some messy fucked up and painful64 process just to end it.
I fucking hate the holidays.

Yes, it’s asinine and inauthentic. Spending time with family members one dislikes just because it’s the tradition… Ridiculous. If I ever have money I plan to spend the holidays in a nice little cabin on an island somewhere, far from all the bullshit.
But flashing lights on trees are so mesmerizing… hypnotizing even. The colored ones though… not those shitty white only light trees. So pretentious.
Truthfully I’m doing my best to avoid all things xmas this year. The trouble is avoiding the “Merry Christmas” bombs people keep tossing my way at work. I respond with a “Happy Holidays” but I feel dirty doing it. I’m gonna start my day off tomorrow by breaking out the leaf blower first thing in the morning. My neighbors will just love that.
Ha,
Aint nothing like a good scuba dive cylinder compressor to “get things going” lol.
My neighbors are not evil, so I shall spare them the pleasure of me filling my tanks early in the morning. hahahahaha
