Your points helped me write my comparison/contrast essay of the theme of the Christmas Carol with that of Emily Dickinson’s poem, Because I could not stop for Death.

Well, since it’s obviously too late to wish you a Merry Christmas, I’ll just say that I hope your New Year is off to a good start!

Perhaps if they made happy pills a requirement, then the world would be a better place. I know my world is a better place when I take my happy pills.

I’ve often thought they should add Prozac to the drinking water to go with the Fluoride. ;)

Seriously though, it’s a nice thought. It’s something that I wish could happen in yours and my lifetime.
And I do still watch ‘A Charlie Brown Christmas’. I watched it the other night, and the girl was very much UNinterested. It wasn’t from her time, she doesn’t get the innocence that Charlie Brown and Linus portray. I love the movie, I manage to watch it every year. I’ll watch it again before next Tuesday Im sure.
Your card is in the mail .. And I’ll end this ramble with a Merry Christmas. Have a safe one, my friend!

A belated thank you for everything!

I too, shall keep my good humor. I’m a sucker for Christmas and nobody will spoil my joy about it. I’m glad you feel the same way.

See, we DO agree on some things! ;)

Merry Christmas to you, and thanks for stopping by! Now, I need you to go have a word with the two smart-asses in the comment just above yours. ;)

We’re both laughing.
Hysterically.

Ahh, a visit from the two headed monster. Always glad to amuse.

Honestly, a nice post.
But you’re too damn happy.
Knock that fucking shit off.

It the new medication. Great stuff!

I stopped by there to see if they had George C. Scott’s Scrooge (to buy) but they didn’t. I will be renting it, though.
Merry Christmas!

It’s worth the extra effort, believe me! Merry Christmas!

I think that’s one of the main reasons the quotes from Jesus are so important.

I entirely agree.

And a Merry Christmas to you.

And to you, sir!
