Christmas Clichés

Christmas Clichés

Merry Christmas, darling readers, as you walk through this winter wonderland; I hope your day is merry and bright as you jingle all the way to Grandmother’s house.

God rest ye, merry gentlemen, let nothing dismay you because Santa Claus comes tonight. Yes, here comes Santa Claus, here comes Santa Claus, right down Santa Claus lane. He’s being lead through the fog by Rudolph, the red-nosed reindeer. He has a very shiny nose, you know.

The first Christmas nerd

Baby, its cold outside, so be sure to bundle up tight as you gaze upon your Christmas tree. Oh, Christmas tree, your leaves are so…green. I hope you roast chestnuts on an open fire and that Jack Frost nips at your nose. Actually, no; I do not wish that upon you. It’s just creepy.

In what universe do I want that to bite me?

So, as you‘re sticking it to those Pagans this year with commercialism and frivolity, be sure to enjoy yourself. But, watch out for old mister Grinch, for he’s a mean one. Some even call him a heel.

What a HEEL!

But, no seriously, let’s not forget what this season is about: the birth of the Savior. Somehow, Santa Claus and presents and selfishness came into play and we overlook that sometimes. Charlie Brown was right when he whined about his own dog’s commercialism. It affects us all.

Ol' Chuck's just jealous.

So, hang that candy cane on your tree this year and spend time with your family but let’s put this presents aside and focus on togetherness, love, compassion and forgiveness (everything you won’t find in a mall this time of year). And if we all do that, I think we’re in for a very bright new year.

Merry Christmas, everybody.

Whoa, wait. I totally missed Frosty the Snowman. *Ahem*

“Wear that magic hat and dance through the street, singing to spread Christmas cheer”. I threw Elf in for good measure.

Amazing movie. Go watch it.
