NEEDLING

FORGOT CHRISTMAS

Re-reading myself, I realize that I’d forgotten all about the overblown public consumer masturbation which is the Christian “religious” holiday, Christmas. Sounds grumpy of me, I know, but I could do without Christmas. And most of the public holidays in France are from the Catholic Christian calendar. Damn, just goes to prove how much I pay attention. As far as I’m concerned, we should all take up the Calendrier Républicain and keep all religious festivities to ourselves and our families. There should be a law that “religious” festivities can only be taken on the street if it means good food for all, whatever your religious affiliations, and parties, galas, costumes, public nakedness, and overt fun-filled evenings without any busting of windows, bombs, denigrations of your neighbors because of their religious affiliations… and so forth. Just good clean – loose definition of 'clean' meaning principally no violence but public drunkenness, gluttony, sex is okay – fun.
