'Tis the season to be...blah?
After reading about the rain-induced, single life "blah" depicted in Eli's blog, I found myself starting to feel "blah" myself. -sigh- She makes a good point that the holidays are generally catered to us married folks and other "duo-types." However, she got me thinking. So I started to try to think of aspects of the holiday that cater to singles instead. Here are a few important ways that I think prove that Christmas is all about single people:
1. Egg nog - properly spiked, can make anyone forget they're single.
2. Mistletoe - though commonly viewed as a "couples only" thing, it can be a handy tool for single people to "connect" with other single people. Hehe...well, it never worked for me, but all you single people out there might have better luck.
3. A Charlie Brown Christmas - Charlie Brown is the loneliest single toon in the world. And this Christmas special won an Emmy.
4. The Grinch (cartoon version) - The Grinch is the J-mo of the toon world...single, and happy about it.
5. Christmas is generally catered to kids, and - in a civilized world - they're all single.
6. Home Alone - need I say more about the relevance of this Christmas movie? It's "Home ALONE"...emphasis on "alone." But what a good movie...
7. Disastrous holiday movies - movies that depict the dark side of family around the holidays (i.e., "Christmas Vacation"). Watch this, and married people want to be single again...LOL.
8. Lethal Weapon - one of my favorite Christmas movies. Mel Gibson is single in it. (yes, it took place around Christmas time - so does that qualify it as a "Christmas movie?" I think so).
9. Jesus was single - I'm not being blasphemous; just stating the obvious...and it's his birth we're celebrating here.
10. Rudolph the Red-nosed Reindeer - the ultimate "single" christmas icon... a reindeer that was "not allowed to play any reindeer games." -sigh- Poor reindeer...well he had his "foggy Christmas eve," and proved he could do what it took all by himself.
So, all you single people out there...don't despair. Christmas is for you, and maybe one day, you'll have your own "foggy Christmas eve" and...um...I mean...there's a point in there somewhere...
Man, am I stupid for coming up with all this...or just really bored...or too sleepy???
Heck, it's a toss up...
Woooooooooo.... (I thought that Kyle phrase was an appropriate ending...)
