Merry Christ... we don't even know when... mas!




I love Christmas.

In a pagan kind of way... in a family-come-together-celebrate kind of way, in a I-get-to-go-home-way, in a give-me-some-fucking-presents kind of way, in a spread-some-awesome-love kind of way. Short: in the way in which everyone should love it. Maybe not exclusively, but definitely includingly (not a word, not a problem)!

I mean, we celebrate it - and it's kind of Christian, cause it has "Christ" in it - but in the end we barely know + - 10 years when Jesus was born. So how come we are so certain it's today?

So let's all enjoy it, atheists and non-atheists (achm... Christians!) of the western world (or eastern, if you wanna come along for shits + giggles)! Because it's awesome and it's positive. And it is a great opportunity to have some time off and spend it with family, friends, and partying with those.

And good wine.

Good Night and Merry Christmas to the whole lotta ya'll!




Post scriptum:

Love it, cause Hitler can't steal your seat anymore!

If you fly...

Hope for a blue sky.

Kansas City to Cincinnati delayed,
Mechanical error they said.
Flight to Paris fled, instead
In Cincinnati I stayed.

Cincinnati, woman in blue said,
"It was the weather's fault.
Therefore: you pay. Default!"
I pay and hang my head.

"At least Business class tomorrow,"
I think and go to sleep.
Next day, DELAY AGAIN, I weep.
In Atlanta I land, 10 minutes from sorrow.

I run and climb and sweat and curse.
Arrive at the gate and see my plane!
But the doors are closed and I strain
My voice to make my claim
That I need to be on this plane.
My pleas in vain, oh what a shame,
Another plane left and I remain.
Another woman in blue, and I converse.

"My plane left without me!"
"I understand, rebooking in progress.
No flight tonight, but do not stress,
Maybe tomorrow, or Tuesday."
"Tuesday you say!? 2 more day!?"
"It is the weather! Hotel! You pay!"
"I will not pay, there is no way!"
"The Woman in Red, I guess,
Has more power, less stress."
To the Woman in Red I flee.

"There are no flights,
but what do you claim?
The flight from KC is to blame?
A mechanical error you say it was?
Records say, 'Maintenance was the cause.'
They made you pay? A shame!
Hotel on us, glad you came."
Savior in Red, 2 free nights.

Hotel is nice, friendly, and large.
In my room, a flat screen TV.
And also, on floor three,
A gym, free of charge.

I hope to be,
In Germany,
With family,
By Christmas.

Lev says it for me...

This pretty much sums up how I feel about this topic fairly well:
