Merry Christmas!

[Wisemon]

Because he's Wisey! The super Atheist!

Also because Christmas is one of the most wasteful, corrupted, and altogether annoying holidays. It doesn't take into consideration people who hate their families, people who have to drive through the mall highway to get home from work, etc.

Here's a little Christmas poem I wrote recently, little better than last year's, also copyrighted:

Ghost of Christmas Ever-present

It's been beginning to look like Christmas
Ever since Labor Day, when cherry red and
Pine green came out, agreed to stop clashing,

And the credit card companies, in the spirit,
Said they wouldn't charge interest; just prove
Purchases are given and eliciting ambient cheer.

It seems this year we lost a pocket of faith
In our institutions and the fruits of education.
We never imagined the power we deeply valued

Could become ruptured, deflated, insolvent,
But those concerns will be swept by yuletide.
Songs of Santa will drown out monumental debt,

And all looming scrooges will be dissuaded
By belief in tradition, our unfazed distractions,
Our ironclad candy canes, our tinsel and gift wrap.

These are the best investments for a new year,
One where Christmas can last through February,
And rituals can resurrect what was always worthless.
