Merry Christmas to all. I hope the season was not to cold and that all had a great time opening presents.
My kids got 3 each, and some donated clothes. I got nothing...But not complaining, Just watching my kids faces as they realized they won the lottery. After 6 years in China they never knew that you can get toys and stuff on Christmas day.
So now my kids have finally succumbed to the American "me first" mentality and have now started to ask "what about me? I want "more"....Heartless it seems when that is all anyone thinks of when it comes to Christmas. It is becoming a crime just to say the words I grew up with "Merry Christmas" people loose their jobs from saying it, being sued just for saying it. All because it is christian......

So now "happy holidays" has replaced the "merry Christmas". And instead of watching "A Christmas Carol" by Charles Dickens. we are stuck with holiday episodes of "Sex in the city" "Will and Grace" And sports. And shit all on MTV for those lucky enough to afford cable, never mind the Satellite programing.
So now that Christmas has come to symbolise the very thing I dread would happen to it like with Valentines day and the 4Th of July and Thanksgiving day.
A secular world of money. A day to reflect on all the kids you beat just to take the toy home for your kids. The commercialization of Christmas. Another day to part with your money so the greedy corporations can take your money from you. And that's why they make all those toy advertisements during the holidays rather than any other day of the year. Because you know the prices will be jacked up. And kids won't remember the one toy they said they wanted last February, because it has been almost a whole year since. And they have to have what so and so has and it's advertised on TV.

So we need to boycott this and stop it. After all the very toy you are buying only cost a few dollars to make in China, but you will pay tens of dollars even a hundred to get it. Who wins this Christmas? not you! You are broke, the toy company that paid a 10 year old child in China to make this toy for a one dollar a day wage in China who does not even know what Christmas is or even have clothes or a blanket to keep warm while making your Kidd's toys this year. But don't worry about them right? It's all about you and your kid getting the best and to heck with everyone else. You are all a bunch of selfish, unintelligible, ingrates.
And that is why I hate the Saleability of Christmas. And you can not put GOD into the equation if it is all about money and toys.

So while you eat a full satisfiying meal, have your 2 kids open up all 20 presents you bought them and sleep warm in a bed. I wish you have nightmares of the starving children chained inside a factory, hungry and making the toys your kids will get this year and know that while a toy cost you $30 or more that it only cost the toy company $100 to buy 1,000 of that same toy and you are bilked into paying $30. Just like the other 999 people who paid $30 for the same toy so the company makes a profit of $30,000 all on your dime.

So now it is time to get ready for the next holiday, New Years day, A day to get drunk and try to forget about those nightmares so you can live in the dream world of selfishness again without guilt. Then comes Valentines day, a day to pay $100 on a dozen roses that only cost $14.99 any other day of the year.
But it's alright, we all like fantasies right? That;s why your husband is out sleeping around with other women, because him loving you is your fantasy, loving someone else is his. And the fantasy for your kids is this: Everything is alright at home we have lots of money and mom and dad are happy.
So keep the dream alive, we have a nother generation of mindless sheep to bring into this world.
