Ok. So the commercialization of Christmas has been repeatedly reported, and this is another feeble attempt at another perspective. Why is it that retailers choose this time of the year to cash in on what was originally supposed to be a celebration of the birth of Jesus? (By the way, I'm also referring to the Mexican pronounciation for Jesus to not offend those who can't speak correctly). Just when did we begin to realize that we HAD to buy a tree with embedded lights in the branches, and HAD to spend $745 to keep our economy from sliding into the Iraqi gulf, and HAD to wear women's underwear when you play hockey, er, sorry wrong blog. Anyway, I propose we set aside a special time during the late spring when kids are ready for a big summer where they can freely play with their material things, and celebrate a retail boon. Think about it, we can ignore or forget about "good will toward men" during the midyear and think about greed! By the time, we come to our senses, guess what? It's that most wonderful time of the year. . . again!
By the way, anyone know where I can get a deal on the new Nokia 6256i?

Okay, let's pretend that you were actually making sense somewhere in that meandering post of yours. Will this new holiday be celebrated by adults as well as children? Is this intended to replace the traditional gift giving at Christmas time - a relocation of the shopping season, if you will. And finally, would like my shopping list for the 2006 inaugural version of this yet-to-be-named holiday?
The relo-holiday would be for all ages, sexes, etc. and be a time for truly trading your hard earned cash for a taste of capitalism. By the way, you'll get the same gift that I was planning on giving you for this Christmas time!
You know, I think you actually may be on to something. By creating a gift giving holiday apart from a sacred religious event, one could express their true feelings without regard to being "in the spirit". For example, one may want to give you an object - statue perhaps - that might suggest, in a manner of speaking, that "you're number one!"
Were you referring to that enormous phallic symbol I have in the middle of my circle driveway?
You haven't quite put your finger on it, if you know what I mean.
Based on your flippant reply, I'm convinced that you just don't get it. This is the incredible opportunity to "re-gift" the entire holiday season!
I'm sure yule be re-gifting already this holiday season.
That was a Rud-olph-hand remark!
You sleigh me.
I think you're crazy, and there's no Sanity Claus in this contract, buster!
