So, the holidays are here. Time for running around like a chicken on crack, spending money we'd rather not spend and otherwise working ourselves up into a guilt-induced frenzy. I'm not sure why we, as a society, can't seem to put the brakes on this lunacy. The celebration of something good, miraculous and eternal has degenerated into a series of trips to overpriced stores to purchase things that we're not sure recipients want, but hope they'll appreciate. I'd rather stick to the family gathering and enjoy each others' company, in the spirit of thanksgiving, hope and peace. But, like every other rat in the race, I'll buy, buy buy, wrap, wrap, wrap and mail, mail, mail.
Hell, hell, hell...
