Good light "display".
Over the last few years, I have been a bit cynical when it comes to the holidays. For me it's just one more pain in the neck day to get out of my way. The only reason why I even do anything for X-mas is due to my daughter however beyond that, I just prefer to go down in my bunker and ignore the entire season (except for the holiday munchies
)
Why am I cynical about X-mas?
Simple, I worked in retail for many years and after so many years of putting up holiday displays (which seems to happen earlier and earlier), cleaning up/removing the displays after the holidays (the only consolation is the left over candy and other treats gets sold to the employees at a steep discount. Yes! Cheap, tasty munchies!) and listening to X-mas music over the Muzak system for an 8 hour shift, 5-6 days a week for 6 straight weeks (Yikes! Where are my earplugs?) is enough to drive me to take a rifle and turn Santa's reindeer into venison. Throw in the holiday crowds and the incessant advertising that is EVERYWHERE and well, let's just say it's best to keep ALL firearms and explosives away from my reach.
I am not Christian so I don't go for the religious undertones. The only thing I have to do with the holidays is the Winter Solstice, however among my people (Taos Pueblo; Taos, New Mexico) that time year of year is the "Quiet Time" which is the time of year for peace, quiet and resting now that the harvests are in and snow is on the ground. To be quite frank, I need the Quiet Time. It sure is not quiet in the modern world...
