Christmas Trends


Merry Christmas everybody…I guess nowadays that means total strangers actually smile to me and say hello today. [EDIT- Sure enough, some older woman said hello to me and my dog this morning.]

2008 Christmas trends:

I see a bunch of parked cars in my neighborhood. I guess that means due to the cold weather fronts in most of America, many traveling plans have been wiped out. Not to mention the cost of plane tickets.

Due to being bombarded with the financial CRISIS and coming Great Depression, I think many families have taken it easy this year and just trying to appreciate their families by staying home. I think everyone is RELIEVED that they survived 2008.

As much as many people have been campaigning to stop credit cards and to get away from the credit mentality- for many families, using credit cards was the only way to celebrate Christmas, especially with so many people on unemployment and food stamps.

The merchandising aspect- that Christmas MUST be celebrated with gift exchanges will never go away, even if our economy gets worse and worse. It’s our own faults, you know. People expect…nay DEMAND gifts instead of actually celebrating the birth of our Lord and Savior, Bara- I mean Jesus of Nazareth. God sent down his son, and he died for our sins. I’d recommend watching Mel Gibson’s Passion for more info. Ben Hur, too.

    That’s a Grant Morrison-alternate Earth version of Vahl and Damian, where they are gay sacreligious lovers.

    Thanks for blacking out the nipple, you could have also made the rectangle big enough to black out the whole thing, which might have been better, because hat picture is gonna give me nightmares.

    This time around I realized that the raccoon was free from suffering now. It's a shame its life had to end like that- it was blameless; humans built roads in the middle of his ancestor's forest. Progress and technology broke that raccoon's legs and took his life tonight. But now the suffering has ended for it. I mourned the raccoon and the way […]
