Seriously, what the hell. Is Christmas really about trampling that poor SOB charged with greeting people entering the store in your crusade for the last Wii, in between bouts of suing store Santas because they're saying "Ho Ho Ho"? And must we honestly get into fistfights...

I actually decided to start blogging after my one previous entry oh so long ago. I seriously doubt anyone reading this but...
