Happy Kwanzihanimas

Happy Kwanzihanimas!!!!

To one and all. What better way to celebrate this Wintry Celebration marked with everything from Druidic Pagan Rituals, Candles, Songs, Coca Cola the proud sponsors of Santa Claus, and the Jehovah's Witnesses (god luv em) for their celebration of well............. nothing. Hmmmm. Nothing. Interesting.

Still I think today, there is an argument for nothing. This is where you ask yourself, is this going to be one of those diatribes about how Christmas has gone too Commercial.

In a word. Probly. Honestly, I don't know where it falls out. It is the season giving, receiving, football, and nothing. It is a magical time for many children. A time to recognize who truly blessed many of us are; and sadly many are not. We remember love ones lost, celebrate love ones found; on the Dr. Phil show we celebrate Love ones who lost weight only to find Love ones who were actually distant cousins and confront them on there drug use.

Honestly this Christmas, I am lost. If you watch the news, everything is bad getting worse. Still it takes an hour to park at the mall, just to go shopping. Granted I don't live in a Microcosm of society. Microsoftsiety maybe, still not the same thing.

I just have trouble finding meaning in the whole thing. Which of course immediately centers me to my children. Which is where I find most of my meaning. Christmas is still magical to them. Which is cool. Of course life itself to many children is magical. The true magic I suppose lies in not losing the magic itself. Presently I feel like someone sandblasted all of the magic off of me. I'm not ready to tie an antler on a dog and steal presents from my neighbors or anything, I think I'm just jaded and saturated with this holiday in which we take a brief timeout from our worlds to be kind (this excludes mall parking, and shopping lines) to others. Maybe if we could reverse things and say be nice most of the time; say maybe 357 days of the year, and be rude on just a few days. Yes I think I have it now. There is a good idea. Nothing but niceness for the majority of our lives, excluding a few minor holidays.

We could have "dick day", when everyone is a dick to everyone else. This could be marked with selfishness, greed, and over all self centered behavior.

"Lie to your spouse day" a celebration of infidelity. Which could be followed with or replaced by Valentines day, depending on how your, "Lie to Your Spouse Day" turns out.

Halloween Rocks. No changes. Maybe more eggs.

St Patricks day could be, angry drunk day. This would only require minor calendrical adjustments, and you could punch anyone wearing green.

I'll stop now before I delve any further into the pool of bad taste of which I am waist high and sinking fast.

Just a quick thought, not so much how bad "Dick Day" would be, rather how good, almost everyday could be.

"And all the Who's in Whoville...................."
