Christmas is just around the corner and I am barraged with a tirade of mommy please and I want I want I want - you know what I want? An anti-commercialized rendition of Christmas without all the begging, greed and looks of derision when I say screw Christmas, it sucks. I just love starting a good debate with all those idiots out there who are convinced that wasting their hard earned money buying crap the recipient doesn't want and really probably doest need uttering the age old idiom of "its the thought that counts" as if Christmas is the only time we think about the people we care about.
In saying the above its not Christmas per say that I am disagreeable with, its the Wal-martizm of the holiday that it has become that I HATE HATE HATE. Who in the name of all that is financially responsible started this trend of spending ridiculous sums of hard earned money in the name of what once was a celebration of the birth of a religious icon? I can understand wanting to show the ones you love how much you care but for facks sake even Jesus only got 3 bloody gifts!
I wish we lived in a society that wasn't so entrenched in the ideology of spend every penny you have and rack up bankruptcy levels of consumer debt to show people you care and lived more in a society of showing you care through spending time together as a family and doing something special for them. So to everyone out there to whom I do not wish merry Christmas or to whom feel shock and awe when I say to hell with Christmas its not that I don't care about you, its that I don't care for the commercialism of the holiday and would rather piss glass than bankrupt myself and force my kids further into poverty for the commercialism of the holiday!
Happy Bankruptcy to all and to all a long Poverty Stricken Year!
