Musings #7 Xmas Will Only Get Better- At First

Filed Under Musings

First, I’m excited about how the site is doing.

Flash Fiction Gamma has four excellent entries (read them here) and people who are not me are commenting on our Webcomic, Waiting for the End of the World. Jef and John continue to send us great stuff to post. BBT is doing well going into 2008 and we love you all for it.

Secondly, I’d like to say Happy Holidays to all- whatever you might celebrate, even if it’s nothing.

I myself celebrate a non-religious offshoot of Christmas called Christmas (for now), which involves giving and getting and days off and gratuities from my clients. Using Futurama as a guide, I can see that more and more people will be joining me in this irreligious seasonal celebration, as the holiday traverses a fine tightrope between complete commercialization and heartwarming sentiment.

However, one day in the distant future, we will turn our Xmas cheer over to a jolly old robot, who will turn upon us, and from his frozen base on Neptune, Santa will condemn us in his John-Goodman voice while blasting our asses with T.O.W. Missiles. Kwanzaa-bot and Hanukkah-Bot will both look helplessly on.

So please, before that day comes, enjoy this season when you can give the people you care about stuff and not have it be awkward.

Best wishes,

G. Weir

    Oh man…I still have to buy my better half a Christmas present.
    I am the worst person ever!

    Holiday Happiness to all!

    Natalie, so do I! Don’t worry you’re not alone! :P Although, it’s harder when he says he doesn’t want anything…
