Christmas

I happen to like Christmas and the carols that come with it. Personally, I don't know what the hell the Christian right wing is talking about when they say 'Christmas is under atack'. I see signs of Christmas everywhere which is not a bad thing. I like the feeling that Christmas brings. If the the Christian right wing really cared, it would have had a problem with the crass comercialism that Christmas has come to stand for. But they are busy making money as well. The right wing just needs an issue which it can use to shout from the roof and get some free publicity. If it can make the issue against liberals, all the better. The only other thing that I don't like about Christmas is having to hear carols everywhere. I went for a drink the other night and even the bar was playing carols. That was certainly a bit odd. My Newcastle could have done without the accompanying carol, some Doors or GunsNRoses might have been preferable. Or Silent Night by Simon and Garfunkel. Oh well! Belated Merry Christmas and have a great New Year.
