Finally after a long leave of absence I have returned to grace my commentaries once again. By this time, I am sure no one is even checking these any more but that is fine because I am less likely to get in trouble that way. On with the Damn show.

I am boycotting the commercialized Christmas tradition this year. I will not be Christmass shopping for anyone but the kids in my life, the Tree of Joy, and Toys for Tots. Christmas has turned into a huge-commecialized-industry-driven-bullshit day that doesn't mean jack to those companies who are raping it. All it is to them is the time of money.

I am not a religious person so the day really does not mean much to me, the only thing it has meant to me for the last five years is a money pit that leads to a few smiles and then forgotten presents. More than anything it has always been for the kids in my eyes and that is what I want to make it this year, just for the kids. By that I mean the kids in my life and the less fortunate children in the area. Hell, that is a lot better than all that the media and corporations have turned it into. They changed it from the celebration of the birth of Jesus (which I hope it still is for those of you who are religious), to the rape of a Christian holiday for the purpose of making money.

This is not out here to tell all of you to jump on my band wagon, or to change your minds. This is simply here to discuss my feelings on the holiday this year. I hope that all of you who are celebrating it have a wonderful day and a great family moment.

I am sorry my return to the commentary genre was such a brief piece but hopefully I will be adding more in the coming weeks, but only time will tell.

And as the curtain falls, I bid you all, goodnight.
