Oh Christmas Tree – Oh Christmas Present

Here are two Christmas posters that I have created to show my holiday spirit! My hope is that these posters will brighten up your Christmas, long after Christmas has passed. Like when you are tossing that dead Christmas tree to the curb or when you are dreading boxing up that plastic one that lives in the attic. Perhaps, you will remember these posters when that large credit card bill arrives and you wonder if you will ever be able to pay it off. Merry Christmas!

Shop Crazy – Are You a Holiday Patriot

I do not have to write about how ridiculous, immature and irresponsible one would have to be to go shopping for needless and worthless things especially when one hasn’t any money and is knee deep in debt. Once upon a time, this would be considered common sense to anyone and everyone. Yet, now we are told that if you do not shop then the economy could collapse, you will lose your job, your house, and your family.

So get out there and buy, spend, shop! Go get that cheap plastic widget. Who cares that you don’t need it or that it will break in two weeks. Hell, what are you supposed to do with it anyway? But, you cannot live without it. At least buy it for your kids. No kids? What about dear ole Uncle Sam? We all know he could us that plastic beauty made in China.

C’mon it’s the Holiday Season! It would not be the holidays if you didn’t shop. I’m not talking about buying something big – just some little rubbish that no one wants so that everyone has some worthless junk to OPEN. See, it really is about giving. It’s not about me and my selfish irrational ways. I want you to be happy. That’s why I’m buying this crap that I know you don’t want – to show you I care! I know that you do not want any of this garbage, but you do not understand that buying things equals happiness. How else are you to be happy if you do not shop? Why do you work? Why get a job if your not going to spend all of your money! I work over 50 hours a week for 50 weeks out of the year and I want to spend that money! I deserve it. What else would I do with my time, but shop? Oh, and watch tv? How else would you find out what to buy?

Some of you may be saying, “I know your right, BUT I have to buy THINGS for my kids, or my wife, or boyfriend or boss or just fill in the freakin’ ridiculous, irrational blank______! Have fun and exercise your brain. If you are a parent – here is an idea – teach your child by giving them the greatest gift imaginable – wisdom through example. I’m not saying do not ever buy your child anything, but happiness or contentment will never come from possessions. The child who is satisfied without will find fulfillment in life, while the child who learns to seek happiness through the hunger for more material will have an unquenchable thirst. Get creative and spend some time with these people you care about. Do something nice for them, be kind to them, help them with their daily chores. Be romantic, interesting and playful. Imagine the countless EXPERIENCES you could have to remember and to cherish.

Or you could just go buy some crap…
