2-HeadedGiraffe: K-Bob's going Christmas shopping.
I'm one of those Atheists who somehow gets drawn into celebrating a holiday supposedly origined to celebrate the birth of the earthly incarnation of another faith's deity. I go to one church service (because my uncle leads it, not because I believe or even pretend to believe), then I forget what he said and indulge in senseless greed and consumerism. Personally, I'm not greedy. I don't like the way I'm expected to want people to give me things just because it's a particular time of year. But I do it. Tonight I'm going Christmas shopping. If I can do it all in one foul swoop, so much the better. Scrooge and I would have gotten along well. Not that I hate Christmas. I don't think he did, either. It's just that we both see it as something of a waste of time and energy. It's still fun, but it's awfully pointless.
Mood: Cheery as a wombat in summer.
