Born in the Age of Aquarius, destined to seek out truths in many an art form, trained as a historian and a journalist but truly a prose-lover... Luciano is out to dispel any clichés and reinvent them all both to the tune of a little something called the truth as also to his own image - and being old-fashioned, he does not mind that distinction one infinitesimal tiny bit at all...! "There are two ways to spread the light; be the candle... or the mirror that reflects It." I have chosen to be the latter... okay? ~*~
"To be not only a seeker of light... but a dream weaver of light" ~*~ For as surely as the moon reflects the light from the sun, you and I can reflect the Light from Above - and be, indeed, the light of this world! ~*~*~*~ NOTE: THERE ARE COOKIES ~ from at least three parties~ ON ALL OF MY BLOGS! ~*~ accept it!
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...
