Well, it's that time of year again. people being with family, and having such a good time wandering around the shopping malls, watching the shoplifters get busted. Spending 150 bucks on those shoes for the kid who will never stop bitching if ya don't. Going to get the bike that will end up stolen and have a nice new coat of god knows what color of paint within a week. Time for fake white fur and red velvet that smells of mothballs, time for booze soaked fake beards and the never ending sound of bells on every street corner and just outside the front door of any store that's worth going into. It's time for visiting with old friends you haven't seen since last christmas, and realising why it's been so long, then swearing to God Hell will freeze over before you darken their doorstep again. It's time to give, and to receive.( but don't expect too much. All your friends are suddenly broke from getting the shoes and the bike.) Most of all it's time for Joy. It's time for Mary. It's time for harry Larry and lets not forget Bob. They will all be at your door, Hands out because you owe them all money from last year when you spent too much on christmas and had to borrow to pay the bills. While we are on the subject, It's time for family gatherings where Uncle Bill always gets too drunk and starts singing Grandma got rund over by a raindeer till you contemplate pushing him into the street and see what will run him over. With all this in mind I want to wish everyone a very merry Christmas and I won't even go into new years,,, fer now.
