As part of its "green" consciousness, a major membership-type shopping club has been providing free reusable bags for its shoppers.
But just this Christmas, it was selling freshly cut little pine trees - perfect for those ignorant non-environmentalists looking for a Christmas tree for their happy homes.
I guess some kind of green (bucks) are always prioritized by some businessmen.
So much for being truly green.
One thing I don't like about Christmas are the text greetings I get from people I don't know. Like just about know, I am beginning to receive Christmas messages from unknown numbers. They are obviously unknown to me as instead of a familiar name in the sender's box, an unfamiliar number listed.
Of course, it would be embarrassing to text back "Hu r u?" or "Hu s dis pls?" especially if it turns out the sender is a superior or someone is supposed to be closed to you. After all, why bother sending personal messages to acquaintances?
At the same time, I don't feel right replying "Merry Christmas 2" to someone I don't even know. Somehow the spirit of the season just doesn't seem there.
So I just don't reply. And I go crazy wondering who the sender is...grrrrrr....
What is the fuss about being nice during Christmas? Why can't people be nice all year round? It is as if come December, people have a switch that they turn on so they are always smiling. But the rest of the year the switch is turned off and they are back to their mean old selves.
Me? I would rather be a grouchy humbug all year round - at least I am sincere. Well, not that I am a regular grouch. It is only these days when I meet people who greet me with frozen smiles who would otherwise not even acknowledge my presence the rest of the year. Bah!
