so, i was walkin around town last night, after i got off the train from work, when i was startled by all the bright, shiney, glowly things surrounding me. ...lights! tiny lights! tiny... holiday lights!
some blasted mother fucker got the crazy idea that november 10th was the first day of the christmas holiday season, and began his celebration process by decorating a whole buncha trees. then, one can only assume, he got dozens and dozens of his pals, and later the hoboken gubment, to do the same, putting up the christmassy wreaths and good tidings and cheer and posters and all that stuff.
now, don't gemme wrong. i loves me some chizmiz, but... we just had halloween! and we just had another 80 degree day! and we're still 3 weeks away from thanksgiving, and 5 weeks away from thanksmas! why do we have to rush right in with the christmas celebration now?
its just uncalled for.
but i'll be damned if'n it dudn't look purdy.
personally, i think the colored christmas lights (racist!) look a little more christmassy than the white ones. the white ones look a lot classier and nicer, but... there's just something youthful and "brings-me-backy" about the multi-colored lights that just leaves a happy lil robbie with a smile.
maybe its cuz they look like lil colorful candies or sprinkles or ... i dunno. maybe its cuz i was obsessed with ripping apart all the colorful decorations when i was a toddler. maybe i'm just retarded. maybe its this right-wing conspiracy, tag-teaming with the liberal media, that is all behind the transaction, masterminding the christmas experience into an awful, demonic and pagan rob-bashing event.
maybe.
whatever the case, lemme recap:
(1) its too early
(2) i miss the colors
(3) ... i'm real glad they're up, cuz they made me smile
gob bless us, everyone
