Government has a pretty big hand in all
that shit storm so I have an idea for them.
Instead of taking the 3 weeks or whatever
they take for the holidays, why don’t
they keep their asses in Washington
and maybe start working on a balanced
budget for next year so they don’t have to
wait until the very last minute and run the
risk of shutting down the damn country,
then acting like a bunch of 2nd graders
trying to hammer out a last minute deal?
Enough on that, I’m sure I’ll come back
to it in the future. This is the first year in
a long (very long) time that I have lived
in town during the holidays. Now maybe I
just haven’t paid attention to it or maybe
the days of people decorating their
house has 1. Gone by the way side or 2.
sure has changed! It seems to me that
a lot less people decorate their houses
and some of the people that do……..
shouldn’t! I have a couple of neighbors
that just (in my humble opinion) did it
right. Classic lights, set in a classic style.
Not too much, not too little. I still love
the classic house with just white lights
outlining the structure or say maybe the
standard light string across the front of
the house with the one simple light in
each of the windows that face the street.
Simple but timeless. Then you have the
house down the street that looks like
Disney puked lights all over the place!
For the love of God! What the hell goes
thru their head when they put the lights
up? Now, now, before you get all bent.
I do believe in the “go big or go home”
theory but some of these places would
leave Clark Griswold asking “what the
hell?!” I’ll even go as far as saying I do
like the “White Trash” Christmas displays,
but damn……. These folks (and some
others) just flat out had a swing and
a miss in my book. When did purple
become a Christmas color? Come on
people, let’s at least try and keep it
classy!
As far as the weather goes, you can
blame it on Global warming, El Nino or
El Dingo, but for those of us that don’t

Happy New Year (Uh?)
If you’re reading this you must have
survived the Holidays! I hope you had a
very Merry Christmas (yep, I went there)
and wish you a happy and prosperous
New Year.
I hope you made it thru the holidays
without offending too many people with
your cheer. It seems you can’t say much
of anything without someone getting their
panties in a bunch. You can’t wish people
a Merry Christmas because someone
in ear shot might get offended and the
schools can’t have a Christmas tree
because it might hurt some kid’s feelings
or put them in an uncomfortable place.
Well tough shit! I am not PC and there is
a real good chance I won’t ever be. I’m
pretty sure that all the anti-Christmas
kind of people don’t have any problem
taking the “holiday” off from work (with
pay no doubt), maybe they should just
keep working and pull everyone’s shift
that really do want to enjoy the holiday
with their family. I’m pretty sure that
would make a lot of Cops, Fire Fighters
and EMT’s happy. Speaking of the
anti-Christmas folk, it seems like the
