Hark Call the Bells

Mr. Grinch

Halloween is over and the stores did not spare a second in moving on to the next holiday.  Up go the sparkles and the music and the boxed sets.  The mailbox is stuffed with glossy catalogs that somehow make it look like even tools from Canadian Tire are cool gifts.  Every year, earlier and earlier… ridiculous commercialism… doesn’t mean anything any more… grumble, grumble… sentimental garbage… screaming, spoiled children… taking the Christ out of Christmas… will they ever stop playing that song?!… every idiot who goes about with ‘Merry Christmas’ on his lips should be boiled with his own pudding and buried with a stake of holly through his heart.
