It's that time of year again, THE HOLIDAY SEASON.

Black Friday is just about over and it got me to thinking, just how much thought had you put into what the "holiday's" are?

Since it's really just the token attention given to Thanksgiving through the marketing wet dream that is Christmas, I'll only worry about those for now.

THANKSGIVING

Let's all celebrate the day we stopped directly killing native american's and started doing it with disease. Yay turkey! Yay football, wait they didn't have football. Yay thank god, wait, whose god? The Quakers who got here in the first place, or pick one of the native gods? No, we're not in that mode now right? There's only one god, and he's on our side!! Or something like that according to the 11:00 news anyway.

CHRISTMAS

Since it's easier to manipulate than kill, thus christmas was born. Take a bunch of pegan sun worshipers, add a dash of the crusades of a sort, and you get one of their holiday's with a new face. Think Buddy Christ if you will. Incidently, 100 years ago, nobody in this country, yes THIS country the U.S. of A., celebrated Christmas. It wasn't until a marketer somewhere got the idea to promote it with a big fat guy in a red suit that it began to take off.

Enjoy the shared dellusion folks. There's nothing worng with having your egg nog and drinking it too, just spare me the "what it means" moments.
