Dec.25-- Finally Christmas arrives, this great day of happiness and celebration. Presents, family, friends, all the good stuff in life. The best day of the year to some of us.
Dec. 26-- Christmas is dead. The Presents have been given, the food eaten, the joy is over. Have you ever noticed how that works that after Christmas instantly everything just rolls over. Sure we have are after-Christmas Christmas parties but it is not the same. Instantly afterwards it is back to real life. Right away were going back to work, going back to the normal way of life, it is like Christmas wasn't even there.
The radio has stopped playing Christmas tunes. Santa's gone to be never seen again. It's over, instantly. Question- do we not like joy? are we not fans of good will? Does no one give a damn about the whole concept of Christmas? The damn commercialisation has killed it. All the suspense of gifts has made this generation and the next generation of human being forget the whole meaning of Christmas. God dammit I can't be the only one to see it.
So I'll stop before I get ahead of myself. All I'm saying is wouldn't it be great if we just took a few extra days and enjoyed the spirit of Christmas. It's not that hard.
Just Think About It,
Tufte
