where it all started




hello. i currently live in new england, where halloween, thanksgiving and christmas were born. it was 32 AD when JC ate a turkey while wearing a stormtrooper costume he got from under a tree near Boston, everyone knows this. america flexes its global might during christmas time. we power huge electric displays of joy and use our rightful share of the worlds limitless supply of energy. we stand in lines at 4am in order to consume, our attempt to somehow fight a recession that we alone can pull out of by shopping for flat-screen TVs. we tolerate the pro forma holiday film that several hollywood stars get stuck with each year (apparently there is a drawing, and some poor sucker loses every year, this time it is vince vaughn and reese witherspoon. tim allen's career never recovered.) and inflate the box office numbers as if dollars somehow equals quality. this is just one part of christmas however, i'm not saying that it is all as depressing as this.

there is still the charlie brown classic. ok. good.
