So what happened to all the Christmas music?
It's over? Just like that? It's only one day after Christmas (technically two at the time of this posting) and Jesus has already left the building. The guns used in the "war on Christmas" have yet to stop smoking and already trees lay dead on the side of the road as if casualties in that war. Brave were these majestic conifers as they stood proud and tall. But just as their needles begin to sprinkle the carpet below we throw them out for we need them no longer. Their shiny glass badges and luminescent trim have been stripped from their chests and boxed away for another 11 months, after which they will adorn another soldier. The nativity scenes are thoughtlessly re-wrapped in the December 26th edition of the local newspaper, almost as if to give Mary and Joseph something to read while they wait for next year. Jesus will be reborn again next year: birthed from the musty cardboard of an old box (corrugated if he's lucky). Until this time next year, may your 2006 be filled with gluttony, greed, and an insatiable appetite for everything that is contrary to what Christmas stands for. I've learned that its easier to give up and just be good for the hell of it.
