 In 1954, Bing Crosby made a movie called White Christmas. Of course, it features the iconic title song. Every since then, everyone has been “dreaming of a white Christmas.” Whatever.
I don’t dream of a white anything (and I’m talking about snow so don’t go getting all PC on me). I’m from the Midwest, right up near the Great Lakes. Growing up, we had real winters (not this milder crap of recent years) and horrific 'lake effect' snow (I'm talking feet of snow and not just a few inches). I remember going trick or treating in a big woolly coat. I’ve had enough of the white stuff to last a lifetime. As a kid (and teen) I remember, White Christmases, but I also remember White Novembers, White Decembers, White Januaries, White Februaries, White Marches and heck even White Aprils.
So here I am now, relocated to the Southeast and what are we all waiting for? The possibility of snow later on today. Oh Goodie!
Few things are as overrated as a White Christmas. It’s frickin’ snow people. That’s all!
Damn you Bing Crosby. It’s all your fault!
Today’s rant was brought to you be The Grinch.
Now that I’ve gotten that off of my chest ... MERRY CHRISTMAS!!!! Labels: People Please, Rant |
