I don't know how y'all really feel about Christmas, but regardless of your religious affiliation or lack there of, I don't recall ANYWHERE in the bible that it is said you must put yourself into debt to buy presents for folks you love, folks you rarely see or don't even like. Call a friend you miss, help someone move, or don't do anything at all, but PLEASE don't buy something from me or anyone else for that matter because you feel like you have to because it's Christmas, what a crock. Why can't we just give ALL year round? Enough of the tirade. A good friend of mine, who at this moment is basking on the beach somewhere in Jamaica, sent me an mp3 of a sappy ass song called "Christmas Shoes", and in looking for a link to it I found this great bit by Patton Oswalt (he put the "Rat" in Ratatouille). He quite succinctly sums up my feelings about this awful song and how I feel about the GD holidays as well. Enjoy...and um, don't let your kids hear this unless you want them to talk like my trash mouth 3 year old who dropped a big ol' WTF in the grocery store last week.
