I hate the whole red and green season, the festive season which seems to have created its own genre of music (as bad as country/western) and I hate the Jolly Fat Man in the beard. The whole cultre of Christmas seems to hit a nerve with me. I mean, I am all for the birth of Christ, the symbolism in the time of year and the exchanging of gifts - I love the exchanging of gifts - it's just the whole 'Santa Claus Is Coming' red and green, jolly sort of culture that seems to have attached itself to the last month of the year (and very slowly showing up earlier and earlier in November) that I can't stand.
I also dislike the 'What would you like for christmad?' that comes out of everyone's mouth. I've never been one to ask for things, and the only things I can think of for people to get me I can never trust them to get the right one, or the right design. Plus, it's much better when people think up their own gifts, and is much more rewarding when they get something you like, and shows how much they listen and care. That's a good gift.
But nonetheless, I shall do what I have always done, and write my list to Santa.

I think over the years Santa has become a grouchy old shit. Cause he has to go to all those places and have countless little kids (some of whom would be morbidly obese) then he would have to get back to the north pole just in time to get in his sleigh and fly around the entire world in one night delivering presents, but also at the same time check the naughty and nice list twice... And then come home and maintain a healthy relationship with Mrs Claus and pay the millions of elves in his workshop, even though he doesn't get paid for his work.
ReplyDeleteAnd that's not mentioning all the inevitable visits from WorkSafe, which would deem a factory in the freezing wasteland on the Arctic Circle to be an unfit place and shut it down, resulting in no Santa visits anymore.
So I won't wait up for Santa, because if I do, he would probably beat the living shit out of me just because he felt like it :P
haha no wonder santas gone insane on futurama in the year 3000
