I know that I haven’t written in here in a long time. I’ve had a lot going on. Basically I’ve been busier than an abortion doctor the day after prom night. From moving cross-country to getting a new job to clubbing baby politicians after they pop their heads up from a filibuster, I’ve been swamped. That’s not all entirely true. Part of the reason I haven’t been writing here in the last few months has to do with old fashioned laziness and procrastination. Oh, and clubbing baby politicians is more of a hobby and not a profession.
Well, it’s Christmas day. If you’re like most people in the world, you’re spending it with family and being forced to wear a gay-colored sweater (fuchsia and turquoise) with a retarded moose on it. You are probably gritting your teeth while wearing this thing because you know that granny spent countless hours, in between her bridge games, getting those fucking sweaters knitted. Granny put out the effort into whipping all those children from Indonesia she purchased from the Nike factory to get those embarrassing garments completed. After all, you don’t want to hurt her feelings, even though she won’t remember your name tomorrow. It is scientific fact that old people have memories worse than Ronald Reagan.
Other than wearing the sweaters, you and your family have been unwrapping gifts before you get to the Christmas dinner. The dinner is usually the time where your Uncle Scummy, who somehow found your new address and showed up, makes and ass of himself by getting trashed on eggnog spiked with Captain Morgan’s and passes out while eating from the dog dish. It could have been worse. He could have urinated all over the tree, creating an electrical surge from the lights that ran up the stream and lit his dick on fire like last year. But hey! You’ve got prezzies!
Gifts range from spatulas and free oil change coupons to corporate bribes and epileptic dildos (vibrators). Everyone likes getting presents. Especially when it’s something you’ve always wanted but were too cheap and too incompetent to acquire for yourself. Just like our country’s banking and auto industries. For me, I’ve never thought much about what kinds of gifts I would like. My mother and family always ask me what I want for Christmas and I never have an answer for them. I guess I’m just content to get some free beer and know that people will never find out about my secret fetish of lesbian clowns doing lesbian Klingons with strap-ons while I choke myself with a heroin addict’s surgical tubing. Did I say that out loud?
Remember, Christmas is the time for family and claiming to be offended about celebrating it even though you still accept the gifts. Why is it such a fad nowadays to insist people tell you “Happy Holidays”? Usually those people are soccer moms whose husbands can’t find their G-spots, causing them to be more uptight than Sarah Palin’s tampon. I’m not a Christian, but I celebrate Christmas. It is a holiday that has transcended religion and become an integral part of Western Culture. That and Lord of the Rings. The next time someone insists you not tell them, “Merry Christmas”, just say, “Happy Kwanza, fuckface!”.
