It’s the Christmas season and as per usual, I tend toward letting it come and go just like any other day. Generally, this is a simple task. I don’t have cable so I’m not inundated with media urging me to spend excessive amounts of money on things I don’t really need. I’m not religious in the traditional sense so there are no religio-spriritual hang ups to deal with and my 14 year old child is blessedly unencumbered with the ludicrous notion that presents will be magically brought to her by advent fairies and fat jolly men who travel via chimney even into homes that have no chimney’s. Still, I’m not totally cut off from the world. Every year my small town lights the tree in the square and most of the town shows up to cheer the event on and discuss sales and how much they plan to spend. There is a couple that dress up as Mr. and Mrs. Claus and the town makes merry, it’s quaint but tired and put on.
