Post Christmas Bitching
Thursday, December 29th, 2005No, not me. Okay, I’m bitching… but I’m bitching about other people bitching. About, of all things, the crappy and lousy gifts they got for Christmas.
Me, I don’t celebrate Christmas, what with me not being, you know, Christian. But I do celebrate Yule, or something, and it does involve exchanging of gifts, a tree, decorations and all the things that have been used for winter celebrations for thousands of years before the Christians decided to smother pagan beliefs by swallowing their festivals. No, I’m not going to talk to you about the “War on Christmas”(tm), but just go ahead and guess how I feel…
Anyway… as I was saying before I derailed myself… I don’t always have a ton of money, and I hardly ever have a ton of time. But I try like hell to get gifts that I know will be appreciated. I’m not always on target. And oddly enough, this same thing happens to others all over the place. We try. Maybe some of us don’t try as hard as others, and maybe some of us spend so much time living on Mars that we don’t really get what’s happening here, but we all try. And there isn’t a one of us who can say we hit the target with each gift each and every time.
