Sad Santa -Michael ShpuntovOK, so tinsel is pretty and the smell does take me back to being a child. But why do we here in Australia, put frigging snowflakes and snowmen on our trees?. Its so hot and anything cold really has no relevance to us. Yes 'Santa' lives in a cold place but we don't. At Large X (thanks Cameron) where I work night filling, in the Christmas section there are so many really stupid decorations. Makes me wonder why we spend so much money on one day a year. I don't believe in Jesus so there is no need for me to be celebrating his birthday when I hardly celebrate my own. However I will be putting up that tree on December 1st and giving the kids their presents wrapped in reindeer and Santa wrap... I will also be eating and drinking what the little ones put out for Santa (a beer and Doritos's).
I read this this morning - Christmas is Consumer Gluttony Masked as Religious Sentimentality. I couldn't have said better myself!
