Why, for fifty-three years I've put up with it now!
I MUST stop this Christmas from coming!
... but HOW?Then he got an idea!
An awful idea!
THE GRINCH
GOT A WONDERFUL, AWFUL IDEA!kara lynne, let's steal the roast beast and the who-hash. kill our televisions and eschew retail stores. bludgeon our caroling coworkers and listen to the whiny brats cry boo-hoo.
hmm i don't know what to tell you. the holiday hullabaloo really yanks my chain too. all the noise! all the waste! all the faux love and saccharine care-for-your-fellow-man bulls*** that suddenly falls by the wayside on december 26 when you're trampled to get that last broken discount tv on boxing day.
everybody assumes you have somewhere to go, so they don't invite you, and then you sit by yourself.
bah! we shall have an online holiday! where we drum and sing and play like there is no tomorrow! where we harbour no illusions about our families and refuse to grit our teeth and get drunk through yet another soul-destroying day. where we nourish our spirits, not through trinkets and trash, but through real self-discovery and self-reliance!
and while i'm dreaming i'd like a pony.
sorry i have no real help but i thought i would commisserate and kvetch.seriously i think everybody is either a) lobotomized or b) despairing or c) exhausted throughout the holidays. the absolute worst in humanity shows through the cheesy cocktail parties and forced socialization. stupid party games. blech. skip it. skip the guilt that goes with skipping it. invest your time, energy, and money in yourself, something that will ultimately pay back huge.
ps - please steal me a roast beast. i will cook roast for one and like it!
