More of the Same
Dec. 22nd, 2006 05:44 pmI did more "shopping" today...I put the word in quotes because I didn't spend any money and didn't get anything other than more depressed and angry. The weather is dreary and rainy. There are too many cars on the road and too many other shoppers in the stores. The songs over the Muzaks are too sentimental "standards", condescendingly cute kiddie ditties, or those "modern Christian" songs that seem to have a snobby undercurrent to them, to the effect that "if you don't love Christmas you aren't American". Ugh.
This holiday is our most forced, artificial and contrary of our folkways.
