Ah, the lovely days before Christmas: frantic people scurrying around buying gifts or pulling suitcases on wheels. Rush, run, push, shove, thrash, scream, cry, collapse and rejoice! Praise the Lord for this wonderful holiday - but don’t forget to get a gift for so-and-so or there’ll be cold stares and whispers for years to come.
So, I am skipping Christmas once again (it’s becoming a habit). I just can’t support a consumer holiday that has religious backing. The two should be separate. I don’t need to mention the absurity of Jesus dying on the cross and rushing to Walmart for some great deal.
I’m out.
