I just don't get it about this 2 month period every year where so many seem to spread good cheer, show compassion, recognize those who are less fortunate among us, and then immediately forget about these suffering human beings for the other 10 months of the year.
Total strangers greet you with "Happy Holidays or Merry Christmas". Even the usually rude droids that we all come across in our daily lives of visiting the Doctor, Cashiers at stores, wherever, whatever, flash their fake smiles, mouth empty words devoid of real feelings.
This time of the year has always bugged me. In particular it's because why is there a societal designated tiny period where everyone is supposed to act nice to each other, help those who are less fortunate than us, and spread "cheer" to each other.
What happened to the rest of the year when it's not apparently required to act in this humane manner. If people really cared, this would be the normal behavior all year round.
It is with this in mind, that I want to wish EVERYONE, from the bottom of my heart a Happy Festivus for the Rest of us.
Happy Festivus
Oh, think twice, it's just another day in Paradise
He walks on, doesn't look back
He pretends he can't hear her
He starts to whistle as he crosses the street, She's embarrassed to be there,
Oh, think twice, it's just another day
For you and me in paradise
Oh, think twice, it's just another day
For you and me in paradise
Just think about it,
She calls out to the man on the street
He can see she's been cryin'
She's got blisters on the soles of her feet, She can't walk but she's tryin',
Oh, just think twice, it's just another day
For you and me in paradise
Oh, yes think twice, it's just another day
For you and me in paradise
Just think about it, just think about it.
Oh Lord, is there nothing more anybody can do? Oh Lord, there must be something you can say,
You can tell by the lines on her face
You can see that she's been there
Probably been moved on from every place, Cause she didn't fit in there,
Oh, yes think twice, it's just another day
For you and me in paradise
Just think about it, just think about it
It's just another day, For you and me in paradise
It's just another day, For you and me
It's another day, For you and me
It's another day, For you and me in paradise".
Happy Holidays and Happy New Year, in case I forget to say so.
