The Christmas-tiding brings a lot of good things, it’s a magical time that brings families together and makes them cozy up in front of the fire. But unfortunately for us the Christmas time brings one more thing... commercials and a lot of them – are you kidding me!
Just because the earth is finishing it’s rotation around the sun, and the year is coming to a natural end, does not give the companies the right to rape my mailbox!
I heard that the second most published book, after the bible, is the Ikea-catalog – Are you kidding me! I seriously think we should find the guy that thinks the Ikea-catalog should be a book and have him committed to a mental institution – It’s properly a Swede!
In the old days Christmas meant that the snow lay as tall as mountains, so everybody would be snowed in while the family cozied up in front of the fire Christmas Eve, at least that’s what grandpa use to say. First, I’ve never understood why grandpa thought snowing is cozy, and thank God global warming is taking care of that.
But I really do think that the increase of the commerciality on Christmas is destroying that warm fuzzy feeling of the holidays. So why isn’t it illegal to promote Christmas shopping, especially at the start of October?! – That way Christmas would still be special!
What happened to Christmas as we knew it? You know that white powder covering the streets, light bulbs covering the rooftops, people singing happily, Santa in a red outfit doing his ho ho ho – You know like we see in the Coke Cola commercial!
That being said I wish everybody happy holidays! ;)
Until next time
