Oh, the noise! Oh, the noise! Noise! No..."And then! Oh, the noise! Oh, the noise! Noise! Noise! Noise! That's one thing he hated! The NOISE! NOISE! NOISE! NOISE!"<BR/><BR/>Seuss speculated that the Grinch hated Christmas because "his head wasn't screwed on quite right", "that his shoes were to tight" or that "his heart was two sizes too small."<BR/><BR/>For me, it's simple and no mystery. Being an athiest, I would prefer not to have anything to do with Christmas. Yet, for the next two months there will be no escape. It will assault my senses on every city street, on radio and television, in any store I go into.<BR/><BR/>And this whole so-called "most wonderful time of the year" continuously declares how much of an outsider I am. How I am a distrusted minority. Even after all the thievery the Grinch did, he was still invited to carve the roast beast. Me? Well, George W. said it this way:<BR/><BR/>"No, I don't know that atheists should be considered as citizens, nor should they be considered as patriots. This is one nation under God."Der Geishttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10615005013929233901noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7861673.post-1161731497528979022006-10-24T19:11:00.000-04:002006-10-24T19:11:00.000-04:00Bah hum-bug?Christmas music only comes around once...Bah hum-bug?<BR/><BR/>Christmas music only comes around once a year, for less than eight weeks. Why be such a grinch about it all? It is the most wonderful time of the year.<BR/><BR/>When the days get shorter and the nights get colder, this sime of year lights up with festive cheer - carols, lights, family and friends.<BR/><BR/>There's no need to be a Grinch about it all. Preparing for Christmas and the holiday season takes time. The lights and the nativity scene don't go up overnight, ya know.<BR/><BR/>Besides, Light-Up Night isn't too far away.<BR/><BR/>So, upload some Christmas tunes to your iPod and celebrate the season!<BR/><BR/>And on January 1, go back to being a Grinch again for 11 more months.BobbyCherry2https://www.blogger.com/profile/02762385047102962419noreply@blogger.com
