Okay, so we’ve all made it through the obligatory Thanksgiving celebration. Nevermind that it’s prefaced on a lie, that’s okay right?  We now just use it as an excuse to stuff ourselves silly and groan about it afterwards.  Tell others that we are giving “thanks” for whatever lame excuse we can come up with and then forget about it as soon as it’s uttered.  Life is so sweet.

In reality it’s now just fodder for the body so it has something to run on when all of us women are fighting and pulling out each other’s hair in the Malls and shopping centers the next day.  I know if I hadn’t had that 3rd helping of stuffing I would never had been able to keep up with the frenzy of the best shopping day of the year.  

Okay, I’m lying. I don’t do the Mall thing on Black Friday. Good Lord, the name is enough to keep me away! But there’s plenty that do.

So now the Christmas buying spree has lowered it’s net over everyone’s head and the race is on. Buy so and so what they don’t really need. Spend lots of money that we all don’t have. Run up the credit cards to the top of your limit (if you haven’t reached it already in this economy) and Ho Ho Ho – Merry Christmas!

The third and final one is New Year’s! Whoopee!! Time to make all of those resolutions that none of us keep, ever.  Actually I think it’s just a time for everyone to get smashed on their faces so they can forget for one night how much money they spent for Thanksgiving, Christmas and the New Years celebrations.

The 3 wonderful Holidays. Time to show all how much you can give to everyone, spread joy and happiness, be thankful for what you have. Or for those that really like to get high and get to have an excuse for it 3x’s in a little more than a month. I haven’t quite figured it out yet.

So Happy Holidays.
