Good morning, friends. 💐🪷🌹

15 November 2024

This time of year, kills me, not literally, but the spending gets out of control. There is our annual pilgrimage to Georgia for Thanksgiving, in which my wife and one or two of her sisters will host. Staying in a hotel, boarding Ben and Charlie, and feeding the town all cost money. After that comes Christmas (gifts), taxes, and insurance. I can see why Ebenezer Scrooge was always in a bad mood. Bah! Humbug! I speak. These is also an added bonus of repairs on the kitchen in our little house in Georgia this year. But things usually smooth out for the rest of the year. I’ll mention this again next November as I did last. Tis the season. I might as well enjoy the ride.

“Once again, we come to the Holiday Season, a deeply religious time that each of us observes, in his own way, by going to the mall of his choice.” - Dave Barry

    as a Christian, I have a deal for the rest of the world:

    We’re gonna sell Christmas.

    That child in the manger, the angels of the heavenly host, praisin’ God - sell all of it. It was always some syncretic approximation of Yule anyway. All that Santa bullshit, the elf on the shelf, all those cheezy songs, fuggin’ Burl Ives and Holly Jolly credit card maxing - everything must go.

    But in return, we Christians get Easter back. Crucify that Easter Bunny, where did he come from/
