The Holiday Season!

It’s that time of year once again! The holiday season is underway and I’m feelin’ jolly! So why not comment on the holidays? Potatoes, that’s why! Let’s get this commentary a rollin’! Booyah!

Holidays kick butt. Excuse me, the meaning of the holidays. Not the religious part, nor the “buy gifts to show your family you love them” part, but the underlying message in holiday specials like “A Charlie Brown’s Christmas” and Dr. Suess’s, “How The Grinch Stole Christmas” and other sappy, emotionally mushy stuff like that. Togetherness, a sense of community, selflessness, kindness, blah blah blah, I think you all get the point. I love that and it really warms my heart. I’ve always wanted to take a homeless man into my home and give him a warm place to stay and a hot meal. I also wouldn’t mind having a huge feast with family and friends. Love the holidays. They’re freaking awesome, guys and gals. They aren’t about getting things. They are about togetherness and love. So remember, some kids get nothing for the holidays. To those who get something: give back. Be nice, jolly, gay, etc. You could get nothing for the holidays and your parents don’t NEED to give you something for the holidays. Chill with the family and pelt loved ones with snowballs. Oh my god! Snow!!!

The snow! I love the snow! It’s so pretty and magical and just so awesome! This was the first year that my puppy saw snow. It’s fun to watch a puppy just eat snow for about an hour. Snow is just so ... cool. I entirely love the fact, however, that the area that is famous for colossal amounts of snow, didn’t get snow until the middle of December. Mother Nature, I have to call shenanigans on this one. Either way, snow forts, snowball fights, crawling through snow and pretending you’re in a war, it’s all just so fun and awesome. Except in the mornings when you’re trying to get to the bus stop but you have to maneuver your legs through the snow and pray to God that your entire foot doesn’t get water-logged. But in the end, about a week into the snowy-ness, you just give up and don’t even care how wet your foot gets. It’s going to get wet as heck anyways.

The cold. I love it! Who doesn’t love the cold (people who like the warmth)? I love it. It’s just the most refreshing thing ever! It draws people together and I love it! Leaving windows open in the winter and ticking off mom, and taking the dog out in shorts and a t-shirt and not giving a dang. God, the holidays are awesome.

Well, that just about wraps this whole shebang up. See ya’ll next issue. Well, I won’t SEE you, persay, but you get my point. Have a happy holiday season! Bye!
