This morning, I was fortunate enough to rip off door number 4 to find a sweet oreo cookie. Delish. It even came with a packet of dried milk, like the kind the astronauts use. Consequently, I am writing this from the hospital.
But still the oreo is a good sign, and thusly, a positive Christmas Experience - neglecting every other religion! When Christmas time rolls around, the 85% of the country rolls out the trees and the decorations and gets ready to love Santa like hes draped in dollar bills. However, there is still a portion of the country left out by this fun experience - Jewish people and Kwanzan...ites (and others whose holidays I'll neglect even more). While Hanukkah (Jewish) and Kwanzaa (Kwanzanites) both fall in the month of December, they are necessarily gift giving holidays.
In lieu of gifts I have come across 2 options: Celebrate Christmas or offer some sort of weak present scheme that will never ever match the power of Santa Clause.
Santa rules on high, with an iron fist. BOW!
I have no problem with either, the holiday is about nothing other than giving gifts and, perhaps more importantly, receiving them, and is no way tied to any religious affiliation. So no religious zealots need be offended!
Of course retailers also encourage the celebration of Christmas by all, because that means more presents. In fact, Wal-Mart encourages getting Hanukkah candles as a Christmas present.
Just what I always wanted for Christmas!
- Everyone gets to park in a handicap spot, even though they may not be handicapped
- Everyone gets to enjoy in the fun of affirmative action, even though they may not be a minority
-Everyone gets to go inside Paris Hilton's vajayjay, even though they may not be an a greasy douchebag.
-Everyone gets to love Raymond, even though no one really does.
If only the Christmas spirit could last all year. (Sigh)
Christmas at the beach! If only!
