So this is Christmas

John Lennon was pretty chill, I think. Of all of the beatles, he and Ringo Starr seem the chillest. Paul McCartney seems like a tightface prick, and George Harrison seems largely inconsequential. It is really difficult to acknowledge the Beatles for anything, because they are one of the darlings of almost all lamestreamers. In fact i will not be saying anything positive about the Beatles as a group, or their music here, so don't get it twisted. John Lennon did the Christmas song, which i heard on the radio today, which i guess is appropriate every year given the anniversary of his death, and the fact that Christmas is coming up.

yeah it's a nice song. Christmas is anything but chill. It would be way chiller if it were like a more religious Thanksgiving. It should be like Thanksgiving: I am thankful that baby Jesus was born so that he could later die, and in doing so save me and everyone else. That was pretty nice of him. Even though baby Jesus is reported to have recieved stupid, expensive, and largely useless gifts, I doubt this actually occurred. I think the whole bit about the presents was inserted later by some kind of retail lobby. Christmas is when all of the evil corporations in the world team up to act like it is normal or appropriate to go into debt, so that consumer goods might be given to people you know or are related to.

I imagine Baby Jesus was thinking "would you fuck off with the groveling and the presents, now this is awkward. I'm related to GOd, why the fuck would I need some stupid shit like frankensence and myrrh. ok gold whatever, im not some fucking guido. Seriously, I being a part of the trinity and all that don't give a shit about your presents I could just make whatever I want with my godly powers"
This is the essentially stupid part about gifts. Why act like gift buying is commuting or somehting. on the radio theyre like "for all of you out there doing your holiday shopping, blah blah gettin it in." making excuses for excess is just sad, but normalizing it is practically evil. If the present is everything a person could ever want, great, now they are spoiled and indulged like a goddamn prince(ess). If the gift sucks and they hate it, now they feel guilty for hating a gift. How long do you wait before getting rid of it? Do you need to wear the shitty, ugly clothing in front of the gift giver (I fucking wish Santa would be enforced aka anonymity, not like even when u were 8 u didnt know. This lamestream gift is from relative x or whatever, if santa were magic and real wouldnt better taste come with that?) Unfortunately most people are probably callous and unfeeling, conditioned by advertisements and Christmas specials to worship the gifts they want (narcissism/greed) And as such they wouldnt even feel guilty if I, on purpose, got them a terrible gift to make them feel bad. People wouldn't even feel guilty for recieving a gift. Fucking assholes. Im still down for the decorations and shit though. Hallelujah.
