must admit( ye I'm a misery chops) I'll be glad when its all over. to me crimbo are for
KIDS not an excuse for us to get p**sed and overindulgence in eating.
this is the Time when those can't afford end up in dept big time and spend the rest of the year paying for it.
this sums it all for me.
I love Xmas. I love A Christmas Carol. I even love the redemption of Ebenezer Scrooge, Scrooge McDuck (above), and the idea of redemption in general. But alas, on this, the day before Xmas Eve 2010, I offer a heartfelt bah humbug to all the greedy Scrooges and scoundrels in the world who helped bring about this year's Dickensian economic crisis. From the Wall Street bankers to the bad credit mongers ,to the politicians who saw it coming and did absolutely nothing--bah to you.
but I sincerely hope that all those who have put the coal in too many shoes this year will serve their time at very hard labor. As Scrooge himself once said: Are there no prisons? Are there no workhouses?
Nonetheless, Happy Holidays!!!
