Running Pro-/Anti-Holiday Thread

Hallmark does the big unveiling of their Christmas ornaments in July. I wish I were making that up. The big day this year was July 15th. I was in the Hallmark store on the 14th and they already had the ornament displays up, but covered with sheets in anticipation of the next day's festivities. It all made me a bit nauseous.

Costco has had Christmas wrapping paper, cards, ribbons, etc., as well as holiday-themed gift baskets out for at least a couple of weeks.

 

I could probably get some Christmas spirit, if Christmas would get the hell out of my face.

I think it's actually the commercial jingles that do it to me. A thousand permutations of the same five fucking songs, repeated nonstop. It just makes me crazy.

That, and this forced buying people things they don't need with money I don't have. And you're basically doing it as an obligation because they're going to get you stuff you don't need. Can't we all just buy ourselves stuff we actually want, get together for a nice meal and call it good?

 

If you want to:

1. Drink "nog" based beverages

B. Sing Don Henley

You'll be first up against the wall when the revolution comes.

Proceed accordingly.

 

1. Never had nog in my life because the thought of putting that in my mouth ... yeah, let's not go there. I'd rather drink a bucket o' cum than drink nog.

2. I never will forget those nights ... err, nevermind.

 

I'll pistol whip the next motherfucker who says Don Henley!

 

Mmmmm, pistol whip.

 

Shenanigans! Wait ...

 

Pro.

 

Last year's "Christmas" pretty much finished me. I don't even want to think about this year's ...

 

Yea, I'm already shopping for Christmas presents. If anybody knows where to find a left-handed t-ball-sized glove for my nephew, I will love you forever and ever. I've looked at the sporting goods store, Target and Toys R Us.

 

You have no idea how hard this made me laugh.
