The latest reason why I hate Christmas OR Why we are all going to die in fiery apocalyptic hellfire

…at the mall in Miami, with my sister in the picture for scale.

I know that Rachel and Nicholas think I’m some sort of a bigot for being such a Grinch, but I can’t help it when I see a monstrosity like this.

From a site that gives tips on how to Green up your Christmas holiday: “Christmas lights are a favourite decoration, but can be an energy drain that strains local resources and your pocket book. There are two ways around this issue: 1) Use a timer to control how long your lights stay on and 2) Invest in some light-emitting diode (LED) lights which use less energy. LED lights can be more expensive to purchase, so watch for coupons and promotions. Using garlands instead of lights eliminates energy use altogether. Take advantage of after-Christmas sales to pick up some new decorations for next year.”

If we can make some of those suggestions happen, then I won’t need to enlist the rest of the International Jewish Conspiracy in the infamous “War On Christmas.”
