Here Are Just A Few Reasons Why "Santa" Ditched His Deers... On A Dare... Sort Of...

Have A Jolly, Happy, Lethargic Christmas!

Even if you've lost all your moolah
over trivial, fluffy, silly gifts
sold all your deer, to compensate,
and wound up with only a mule
and a serious transportation problem
when delivery of said silly gifts
becomes imperative...!

The Seven Deadly Sins Series: A as in... Anger!

Have a look at *this*

Angry German Kid

Not to be confused

with that cartoony one

who might be angry

but isn't necessarily German!

(Proof, again, that

reality can be stranger

and even, sometimes,

more entertaining

than fiction!

Animation's Angry Kid

must be really irate now

for a flesh-and-blood kid

has stolen his beef!

But that is another story...)

This angry German kid though

reassures me quite a lot -

I now have EVIDENCE

that my computer-induced tantrums

are not so bad after all!

*Whew!*

*LOL*

Lord Knows that

the frustrations of XP and co.

are very VERY real...!

;)

And the German Angry Kid

(a.k.a. "G.A.K.")

is not alone either!
There is also
the Greek Angry Kid!
Truly the GREENPEACE Angry Kid!
("G.A.K. 2" hence?)
Gattika - Gattika!

Anger seems to be spreading
Wrath is gaining ground!
Don't kids today KNOW that it's one of the
Seven Deadly Sins?
Oh right - they don't
and they don't care to know
NOR if it actually is a sin either!

Sounds like they're in denial to me -
and thus, this is admission of guilt!
;)

The crapfest that is the MERCHANDIZING SIDE of Christmas
(and it is that aspect and that aspect alone, yes,
that I am qualifying as "crapfest" - let that be clear to all)
is set to begin anew, momentarily...
Look at any stores' display and you will KNOW -
in case you are a caveman without a calendar...
but, somehow, with internet access!
(I have seen worse oddities - trust me!)

Starting this Saturday, you have got some 22 days overall
(discounting sleeping hours - unless you're Jack Bauer too,
YOU HAVE GOT TO SLEEP - sometime... preferably periodically,
at regular intervals of a set amount of time too!)
22 days, yes (not 28 Days... no!)
to find all the crap your kids or kins
(and other zombies you're related to)
"want for Christmas"
*sic*

Get set...
On your marks...
GO... to heck.

WHY?
BECAUSE CHRISTMAS ISN'T ABOUT THAT!
OR RATHER...
CHRISTMAS SHOULDN'T BE ABOUT THAT!
Don't make me repeat, yet again,
what is the TRUE
"Reason For The Season"
because it is very OBVIOUS, yes...

Mind you, the early elderly statesmen
of the Church
should have picked another time of the year
so that we wouldn't have all these neo-pagans now
clamoring "foul" -
with little or no reason at all!
But that is another story...
