I surely cant be alone on this one...
I swear if I have to listen to the "HAllidays arr cummin" cheesy Coke advert tune any more, and the Uncle Tom-tone laden, sickly "Christmas on the COKE side of life" (COKE?? ..isnt it supposed to be about sweet baby Jesus??) tag line any more, I'll go and don a black wooly balaclava and mount a guerrilla revenge raid on the nearest mountainous temple to consumerism of the bloody stuff in my local Tesco!
Phew... thats better. Mince pie anyone?

Having just narrowly survived my local Asda, I'm hearing you loud and clear. After this afternoons last bit of shopping I shall be battening down the hatches and refusing to leave the house until I go visiting folk.
Remember, today is the tomorrow you worried about yesterday.

Christmas is about Jesus???? errr so why have I been bankrupting myself for far too many years buying pressies that either get re-cycled or broken within the first week, when I could have just said to the kids "go read a bible" .. pass me the mulled wine please! | |

dipped in piss and force fed down my throat whilst I'm hung on a meat hook? And the day came when the risk to remain tight in a bud was more painful than the risk it took to blossom. | |

Ahh, but didn't Coca Cola invent Santa Claus - or at least adopt him in the 1930s, 'Coca Cola had a great deal to do with establishing Santa Claus as a ubiquitous Christmas figure in America at a time when the holiday was still making the transition from a religious observance to a largely secular and highly commercial celebration ... it was Coca Cola that exposed nearly everyone in America to the modern Santa Claus image.' http://www.snopes.com/cokelore/santa.asp So it's official - it's not about 'sweet baby Jesus' any more, just commerce. Happy queuing and spendind Nina x p.s. - I'm a big softy for Christmas really and feeling nicely smug this year as it's the first time I'm not wrapping all my presents on Christmas Eve! Love who you are (and yes, it's my bum again) |
