Savannah: Good morning, Bill! How was your holiday?
Bill, who is deeply Christian: Lousy! I hate the holidays.
Savannah: Ugh, someone missed out on the Christmas cheer. Matt, how about you?
Me: Lousy! Bill, why do you hate the holidays?
Savannah: Why is everyone so grumpy?
Bill: Christmastime is always terrible. It’s cold, it’s crappy out, and all these companies putting out these awful commercials. “Oh baby look, I got you a new car for Christmas!” Agh! It makes me so frustrated. Do you have any idea how many people are suffering right now? Covid has put so many people out of work and Ford or whoever is out there trying to get all these poor people to buy shit they don’t even need. Pardon my language.
Me: No pardon needed!
Savannah: So what’s your excuse Matt?
Me: Me? Oh I don’t have any great insight like that. I just hate everything.
I hate Christmas music. Loathe it, actually.
carol of the bells is good, the rest is crap
Okay, you’re right. Carol of the Bells is good.
