Thanksgiving, Stalker Santa and being Fearless

So, it's been a while. And I know I haven't written in a while, so I sorry.

Thanksgiving is coming and golly gee wilkers, am I glad. Thanksgiving, in case you don't know, is my favorite holiday. To be honest, it's amazing because you don't have to give gifts to anyone, you get to eat lots of foot and you get to watch the Macy's day parade and just be with people that you love.

I think that Thanksgiving is the only holiday that doesn't need a specific weather. For instance: Christmas needs snow. I don't care if its just a little flurry or a blizzard. Snow is essential. Halloween needs to be hauntingly clear with a few clouds to pass over the moon now and then. Easter needs to be a bright, clear spring day. Always. Thanksgiving works with everything! How awesome is that?

Besides that, I feel that Christmas is one of my least favorites. Well, I guess I do like it. I LOVE Christmas Eve. It used to be so magical and perfect. But, more about that nearer to Christmas. I love hanging with the family and exchanging gifts, but, to be honest, I don't think that Christmas is very calm. It's not, I think, how God wants it to be. He wants us to celebrate his son's birthday and, its sort of ours too. It's sort of like hope's birthday. We get to celebrate hope and love and being saved.

However, I feel that Christmas's mascot is horribly flawed. Come on now, the best thing you could think of was a fat, old man? Okay, that sounds harsh. But, to give you my reasons, I have decided to compile a list of why Santa should not be the mascot:

1. Santa is a stalker. No lie, he knows how bad or good you've been. That means, he has people monitoring you day and night. Who wants presents from a guy like that, huh?

2. Santa is a slave driver. This is true. Think of all those elves that are enslaved to make our gifts every year! And, besides that, they are forced to be happy and sing. I bet you, if you're bad and don't sing, they take you out of the line and take you to a room where they strap you to a hospital gurney and run tests on you. Then they stick something into your bloodstream to make you happy all the time! How awful is that? Poor elves...

3. Santa routinely breaks and enters. Guys, how is Santa even in business? He breaks into our houses and eats us out of house and home! Just cause he leaves gifts doesn't mean that it makes it okay. Who's to say he doesn't take some of our stuff or come in with a gun? Honestly, the police should have shut him down years a go. But, they can't. Cause then they'd be on the naughty list. Which brings me to my next point:

4. Santa uses fear to control us. He feeds off of fear, I think. Which is why he is so large round the middle.

5. Santa uses derogatory terms. Who likes a man who goes a round laughing as he uses derogatory terms for females. This is not okay people.

6. Santa wants to take over the world. So, I suppose theres no proof for this. But rumor has it that Santa is developing a weapon that will freeze over the whole world and leave us at his will. He'll take over the world and bring in a new Ice Age.

7. Santa is a maniac. Thats all there is to it.

8. Santa is very close to the name Satan. Coincidence? I THINK NOT!

So, there you go. haha. Those are my reasons. There are hundreds more, I'm sure.

Other than that, I'm sure theres so much I could say. Life is good. But, it's still rough. It has its moments.

On a side note, might I mention how much I love Taylor Swift? I'm listening to her new album Fearless, at the moment. And I love it. I love her style and the fact that she just sings about life and love and dancing in the rain and stuff like that. Its good. If I ever became a singer, I would probably sing songs like her, except they'd probably be morbidly mixed with Evanescence or something. haha

Well, that's all for now. I'll try and post more, with smaller posts. Have a great Thanksgiving!
