oh happy season
wish you a Merry Christmas
filled with peace and joy
have you ever seen Christmas Vacation, the national lampoon movie with Chevy Chase? There's one scene in the movie where he's decorating his house and is struggling to get them to turn on. It exemplifies how complex our christmases get. We need electrical systems with bigger capacity to accommodate christmas lights. We have to have frustration-free packaging because people aren't patient enough to deal with clam-packs. We pay companies to do our christmas cards because we're too lazy to do them ourselves. The christmas holiday has become so convoluted that it's tough to remember what the real reason behind the holiday is. I like it when christmas is simple. A tree, a present, and a few christmas songs. I like getting a hand-written christmas card in the mail, maybe a greeting from a neighbor, just to say merry christmas. The simple things are what make this holiday fun.
