...It's beginning to look a lot like...

...Christmas Empty pockets and maxed out credit cards!

As December is now here, the Commercialized world will now start to get ready for the biggest money waster ever, CHRISTMAS!

Christmas, which started as a Christian celebration in observence of the birth of Jesus Christ. Some smart BRILLIANT salesman somewhere convinced the world to exchange gifts and cards with all the people you love as well as those that you truly don't fancy fuckin' like! What a genius! What I would like to know, is "Where does Santa Claus fit in? Now the thing is, from a Christian standpoint, was he in the bible? How did he become the poster boy for such a celebration? Did the world loose focus? I think so! Trying my best not to come across as an absolute Scrooge, I am truly not that into Christmas, and haven't been for quite a few years, actually.

When looking at watching television at this time of year, it is clear to me that the main purpose of the exercise is to get the people of the world to spend fork out money on things they truly don't need, but rather, on things that companies, the mainstream media, and advertising agencies show in an attractive manner that makes people think "I WANT ONE!" With all that being said, where is Santa to pay the bill? Can we at least have his Credit Card number? Someone once told me that in Nigeria and other African Countries, friends give you a print out of credit card numbers so you can buy all the shit you want! Anyways, I've digressed... Moving on.


Where did this naughty and nice crap come from? Now, lets face it... Christmas is supposed to be the celebration of the birth of Baby Jesus, who later became the man who supposedly died for all our sins... Now, why would he care who was naughty or nice when it came to gift giving after he gave his own life for us? SMH, something I shall never understand...


Let me just throw in my disclaimer now, before any and all vultures jump on my ass... The views expressed here are that of my own, just that, MINE. If you don't agree, bless (I still don't care!)


All in all, I wish all of you the most joyous of Holiday Seasons as you enjoy being broke with the collection of fuckery that you have bought. I also wish all of you best of luck and success in paying that Visa bill come January 2011!


Merry Christmas to all and to all a good night! Bless
