Not really- I just say I'm the opposite of whatever they assume- you can go wrong with a hearty "Hail Satan!" when someone wishes you whatever.

That's exactly what I'm all about at this time of year- the "being thankful" part- from thanksgiving through New Year's I try to apprecieate what I have and give of myself.

But most of myself is sharp and shiney, so I use black humor to get through the religion aspect of the season.

Locally, I can respect the hell out of churches and other paces that help the poor and needy, feeding the homeless and giving gifts to poor kids, etc....the rest is crass commercialism. Crap like jerks giving only to themseves- all the commercials implying that your wife or whatever will love you more if you buy that Lexus or treat yourself to a giant TV set.


I buy a lot of crap for myself- but I also donate a hundred to the local food bank and hook up friends with stuff I think they'd like.

While I'm playing grumpy old man, you know what I sorta despise?
Christmas cards- I'd MUCH prefer a nice letter or note from a person with a personal message instead of some obligatory card signed under some copy to be only glanced at and then discarded.
