Boxing day shopping*
Don't you people have a life or family? What are you doing up at 5 am to go out shopping? Okay well I was stupid enough to get up and see what the hubbub was about but…but only to make fun of you. I could believe the crowds! I arrived at a giant electronics store at like 7:15 am…I guess that was too late! The entire store was packed, all of the 'door crasher' specials were gone. I have to ask myself where has the love gone? Where is the family? Christmas has changed…you've changed! I blame the stores. They get these poor bastards to come into work at like 6 am during the holidays and advertise the best sale of the year for weeks ahead of Christmas…of course we want to shop. You make us want to leave our families at home so we can shove ourselves into an over packed store so we can spend even more money than we did for Christmas. Jerks…but then again Christmas was yesterday…hmmm okay let's go shopping.

*Note for all American Readers: Boxing day is celebrated by Canada, started in the U.K. on the day after Christmas. It started as a day to send gifts to others…um in boxes. It is also tradition on this day to box at least one member of your family. The winner gets an extra helping of whale blubber and the use of the dog sled for an entire week anytime they want.

New year's
I really have two bones to pick with New Year's. One is with the actually celebration and the other have to do with the people…it's always the people. Okay, the holiday…or night of crazy partying. Hey bars…what's the deal with charging like a hundred bucks for cover? Talk about taking advantage of a captive audience. You know we are all going to want to go out, so you give us a glass of cheap ass champagne and call it party time. I mean really it's just another night…there is such an expectation on this night. Can we say over rated?

Now to the people…do you all have to go to the gym on the same day? You can bet that every year the first day back from New Year's everyone and their mother is at the gym sitting all other the equipment you're hoping to use. Now I have no problem with people deciding to get into shape, hey we all start somewhere. It just makes me laugh to see all of these people who will go all hardcore to the gym for like 3 weeks and then never look at their membership card again. The worst part is is that they make you pay for an entire year! That's how those stupid clubs make their money…stupid clubs. I think I had a whole cup of angry with lunch…

Pajama Pants
Okay now this has nothing to do with Christmas or the holidays but it is something that I read over the break. The new fashion for girls that is sweeping the nation is wearing their pajama pants out. Uhm what? Two girls actually went to court over their right to wear pajama pants at school and won. They won?! I'm sorry but there is nothing sexy about pajama pants…not that women have to be sexy everyday, but shouldn't you actually have to get dressed to go out? Perhaps this is the rant of an aging fool but here's what I remember. Pajamas equal sleep wear and the outdoors is not your bedroom…unless you're Tarzan and he never wore pants.

Well there it is my first article of the year…at least it can only get better from the bottom here…I hope. Happy New Year and now bugger off.
