I'm having a issue with something, nothing new there, but the something has changed. I am forced to wonder if people are just being lazy or if perhaps the crummy weather has had something to do with it. I also thought it was just a local epidemic but I found out this weekend, while on vacation, that it has gone outside of the scope of my own little universe. The problem I am referring to are the lingering Christmas decorations that remain up. I know we all love that time of year, the joy that is in the air in almost palpable, children's eyes are a glow with delight. Heck, it's the closest thing to magic most of us ever know, and we want to hold on to that as long as possible, but enough is enough. I think there should be a time line on the giant Frostie's and inflatable Santa's on motorcycles, and it should end the first weekend past the New Year. Any time after that just looks lazy and more than a little tacky! I am plotting a new activity for this weekend, and I encourage all of you to join in with me. First start by drinking a lot of caffeine at about 6pm Friday, in preparation for the nights activities. Now if you are not fortunate (or unfortunate) enough to own a truck you can still participate. We can call it the great after Christmas ornament swapping weekend. Let's take the giant light up Frostie and swap him with the inflatable Santa. We can take the wreath down from our neighbor's doors and swap them with those of people across town. By Saturday I would be willing to lay money down that those people will get off their duff's and except that Christmas is over. And personally, I always find messing with people a enjoyable past time!
Unfortunate news today, the KKK is seeing it's largest surge of new members since the 1960's due to the countries immigration issues. Is it just me or did we not all decide these people were evil hate mongering quacks quite some time ago? Hate is never a good thing people, let's try to remember that.
