Take on Christmas

Christmas is different for everybody, for some people it's a chance to get together with family, for others it's a chance to reflect on the year and for others it's an arms race. Forget Putin, our county is under assault from drones dropping crappy Chinese plastic toys upon our kids. We won't ever get from underneath the oppression of the great Asian beast if we can't get off of our dependency on shitty toys and nothing shows that more clearly than our Christmas tree. Between us, our families, extended families, random neighbors and friends, the amount of crap we get would make a small village in south east Asia or Africa cry, it's an assault of the senses, it's an attack on morality through charge cards and gift cards and it is the reason I hate Christmas like a pack of horny dogs.
