I had to return to work today after ten days off, and I have a headache and am a little cranky for only semi-good reasons.  To top it off, the city is woddchipping the beautiful city Christmas tree right outside my window.  This very moment, it's a fifty foot tall telephone pole with four feet of limbs left at the very top.  Within moments it will be merely a giant stick.  I guess the holiday season is over.

I always resent having to work when I come back from vacation, but I suppose it's important to indulge the people who sign my paycheck. Still...

Yeah, it's a giant middle-finger to people who want the holiday to continue.

It would be interesting if they kept it up until Epiphany, but that would be a bit too much on the 'religious justification' front, and I don't want the religion of the people who I vote (for or against) to office, to dictate ANYTHING about how I live my life.

It's bad enough that the cultural demands require the tree to go up as it is.

I can't imagine this town celebrating, say, Hannukah. If the city even made noises about recognizing the Jewish community, there would be a public outcry of absurd proportions.

Remember the hysteria over the Hindu dancer sculpture in front of the Old City Hall? It was the end of civilization. There would have been not a peep if it had been of Jesus.
