Being the world reigning president and grand-mucky-muck of the "Bah-Humbug" fan club..........I'm running for election for next year.
The crowds, the traffic, the screaming whining curtain-climbers wanting this-and-that, the hypocrisy, the "good cheer", the pushing and shoving, the rudeness,------------I'm done with it. I told my wife, next year nothing. No Christmas shopping, no presents, no nothing.
If I have to work, they can keep whatever bonus pay for that day, I'm putting someone in jail by 0900. If I don't have to work, I'm staying in bed ALL day. That being said:
A couple of years ago, during the "'tis the season", I pulled into a local gas station to fill up my pickup. I noticed a POS car with a mom and a handful of kids. It didn't take long to notice there wasn't a lot of money parked next to me. I heard one of the kids ask mom if they could split a candy bar. She said no, she was going to "put the $3.00 in the tank". (The way she said "THE $3.00....." lead me to think that was all the money they had in the world. ) With my trained observation skills, I didn't think this was a meth-mom with her tax-deductions, but a down-and-out single mom that was flat broke. I went inside to pay and gave the clerk and extra $20. I told her it was for my "friend in the green car", and to make sure after she puts $15 into the tank, she doesn't forget to get each kid their own candy bar (who on God's green earth should ever have to SHARE a candy bar, here in the great United States?!!!). I drove off. In my humble opinion, that is what Christmas is all about. And THAT is what damn-near everyone else has forgotten.
I'm going out to the shed and load some .50BMG.
Leave me alone.
