Well it is that blessed time of year again.....
hey sleigh bells ring-a-ling, cash registers sing-a-ling ,as we spend the corporate doll-a-lol-ar.
okay I can't write a carol to save Al Yankovic's shiny white bum....( bad visual image and I am just guessing what it looks like so correct me if I am wrong )
But seriously what happened to the days of yore when Christmas time was all about the spirit of giving and the joy of receiving....for it is now a time of bean counting and score keeping.
****I gave her a $XX.XX sweater and all she got me was this lousy $X.XX snuggie ****
/laughs to himself (Whats was that R&V ? /scoffs you thought someone might hear a Capricorn at X-mas) (Sorry I needed to needle you about something and I know you truly love the... wait for it .... angels making that heavenly sound AAAH-AAH Snuggie)
Everything has changed. I miss my beloved cartoon / claymation christmas specials. The island of misfit toys, Bumbles bounce don't you know, and the burgermister misterburger to name a few.
Prep & Landing WTH is that?????
Okay maybe I am being a little rigid and olde fashion but really wasn't the stuff I grew up on Good Enough???
The light competitions, the sales starting in July, really now folks what is it all about anymore ? keeping up with the Jones'?
I miss the magic, the pure joy of it all. I truly expect this year to see someone text me from next to the tree, thanking me for their gift.
Our youth has lost their conversations skills to texting. They are drones to corporate America only interested in the monetary gain of the holiday.
OMG my co-worker told me his daughter did not yell down last night to say "Good Night Mom & Dad" she did a sms text to landline instead. Bring Ring - hello - this is a text message from 555-555-1212 "Goodnight Mom & Dad" - did anyone see R&V just twitch, seriously did she?
Well call me Scrooge , Grinch , Charlie in the Box - whatever.... I am not against Christmas or a pouty poopey lip. I just want the true meaning of Christmas back!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
"I miss the magic, the pure joy of it all. I truly expect this year to see someone text me from next to the tree, thanking me for their gift." -- I'm STILL laughing about that...
