[Hanukkah, =
Advent, Christmas, New Year, Epiphany have all passed into history for =
another year. Here is my unvarnished opinion of the holiday time, some =
original and some borrowed from people far funnier or more insightful =
than I will ever be.]
I got my wish for Christmas this year – for =
someone to wake me when it’s over.
What I like =
about Christmas is that we try to make people forget the past with the =
present.
I think =
Christmas was a baby shower that went totally =
overboard.
I celebrated =
this deeply religious holiday time that each of us observes, in his own =
way, by going to the mall of his choice.
Christmas is a =
magical time of year. I just watched all my money magically =
disappear.
Even before =
Christmas said ‘Hello’, it said ‘Buy =
Buy’.
I am one =
bottle of gel away from being able to open my own Christmas gift shop in =
my shower.
Oh, for the =
good old days when my wife would stop Christmas shopping when she ran =
out of money.
Keep your =
friends close, your enemies closer, and receipts for all major =
purchases.
And =
seriously . . .
There’s =
nothing sadder in this world than to awake Christmas morning and not be =
a child.
