'Tis the season for generosity and kindness. 'Tis the season to greet and treat even strangers warmly and shower compassion upon those who have suffered misfortune. 'Tis the season to celebrate with the hedonistic joy that can only come from a soul unencumbered by the chains and fetters of the dogmatic mewlings produced by those who would take this sacred holiday and bend it to their avaricious lusts.
'Tis the season; 'tis the season. What a pity t'won't last beyond New Years....
I've already had my Solstice celebration, my Saturnalia, but there are those who are some form of believer or other and I feel that I must pay at least a little recognition to their faiths as well. Therefore, I offer them, and all, this glorious Christmas Carole:
Christmas time is here, by golly,
Disapproval would be folly,
Deck the halls with hunks of holly,
Fill the cup and don't say "when."
Kill the turkeys, ducks and chickens,
Mix the punch, drag out the Dickens,
Even though the prospect sickens,
Brother, here we go again.
On Christmas Day you can't get sore,
Your fellow man you must adore,
There's time to rob him all the more
The other three hundred and sixty-four.
Relations, sparing no expense'll
Send some useless old utensil,
Or a matching pen and pencil.
"Just the thing I need! How nice!"
It doesn't matter how sincere it
Is, nor how heartfelt the spirit,
Sentiment will not endear it,
What's important is the price.
Hark the Herald Tribune sings,
Advertising wondrous things.
God rest ye merry, merchants,
May you make the Yuletide pay.
Angels we have heard on high
Tell us to go out and buy!
So let the raucous sleigh bells jingle,
Hail our dear old friend Kris Kringle,
Driving his reindeer across the sky.
Don't stand underneath when they fly by.
Actually I did rather well myself, this last Christmas. The nicest present I received was a gift certificate "good at any hospital for a lobotomy". Rather thoughtful. ~~ Tom Lerher
Merry Christmas everyone!
