This is an article Jacob has on his blog and I couldn’t disagree more. It is a long article but worth the read.

Yes, we have too many reality TV shows throwing people at us that can’t sing, dance or do many things but to say creativity should stop is ridiculous.

I’m old school, sorry, I’m “Ms. Tribute to Mr. Rogers, Sesame Street”, and so many others that taught us to use our imaginations and you have no idea where that can take you in life. Creativity is such a huge factor in so many people’s lives. What if someone had told the greats of the worlds to just stop being creative?

“Beethovean seriously dude, you have just been trying and you can’t seem to get it right, stop trying to be so creative with your music.” “Hey Picasso, seriously, some of your work, what are you really trying to say? Let’s just ease up on the creativity dude and give it a rest!”.

Now yes, I know every kid that comes out of the arts world in college things they may be the next big art find and most will end up in the white, collar business world at some point but can you blame them for trying? What if they do make it and they get to create and make money doing something that is their passion? How many of us want to me that person?

Seriously, this guy should have got out of the car and ripped off that bumper sticker from that car.

Creativity separates the exciting from the boring,the challenging from the limited, the fun from dull! It makes life something to live life about and that’s what I have to say about that!

1. Everyone wants it to snow in December, but once December 25th is over snow is the enemy! The same people that “dreamed” of a White Christmas are now bitching that they can’t drive in it, can’t stand to dig out their drive ways, and certainly don’t want to put up with this crap all winter.

2. When you’re shopping at Christmas time, most people say things like, “No you can go ahead of me”, “Excuse me”, “Thank you”, “Happy Holiday”, “Let me get that for you” but December 26th (Return Day) my how the language and attitudes change! Where do those people go? It’s like they are replaced with hateful aliens from the Island of Misfit People

3. Everyone looks nice during the month of December. They dress better, all red and white, christmas jewelry, hair is fixed a lot at work because most have parties and all in all they just look good. Come January 1 most folks look like something the cat drug in………baggy jeans, sweats, hair pulled back because they are headed to the gym to get rid of the extra Christmas weight or they have to rush home to get the Christmas crap down from their house.

4. Aaahhh the view of the city during the month of December as you drive by, all the house lit up, animated, characters in the yard filled with air, window scenes at the houses, greenery on the window ledges, it’s as if Santa has come to town and decorated himself. January 1 you drive by the same houses and some lights are hanging from the roof, animated characters lay, deflated in the yard, snow covered adn frozen to the ground, greenery hanging halfway from the window ledge, ribbons blowing in the wind.

5. Family at Christmas time is such a wonderful thing. We all gather together to show our children and loved ones what Christmas is all about. Gifts are exchanged, food is made and ate, games are played and a good time is had by all. As you leave, hugs and kisses are given and promises are made to stay in touch and the love of Christmas fills your heart. Right around December 27th the phone calls start, “Did you hear what she said to me?”, “Can you believe he acted that way again?”, “Omigosh if I have to spend another holiday with his in-laws I will go insane”. Yes, the joy of holidays with family, it’s great!

6. Christmas shopping for the perfect gift - it makes your heart fill with joy to actually know you are buying the perfect gift. December 26th when you find out it wasn’t so perfect………..”Well had I known she was so picky I’d have given her a gift card and called it a day.”, “Next year I’m going to Florida for Christmas instead of wasting money on his family.”, “Like she would know real if hit smacked her in the face.”, “Not her type, I’ve seen her type and trust me they don’t sell THAT in a store.” Yes shopping for the perfect gift is so rewarding.

Yes, I do love Christmas……….it’s fun!

Here are a few things to say when you get those “oh not so perfect gifts” and you are caught off guard.

10. Hey! There’s a gift!

9. Well, well, well …

8. Boy, if I had not recently shot up 4 sizes that would’ve fit.

7. This is perfect for wearing around the basement.

6. Gosh. I hope this never catches fire! It is fire season though. There are lots of unexplained fires.

5. If the dog buries it, I’ll be furious!

4. I love it — but I fear the jealousy it will inspire.

3. Sadly, tomorrow I enter the Federal Witness Protection Program.

2. To think — I got this the year I vowed to give all my gifts to charity.

1. “I really don’t deserve this.”

I love the new Wal-Mart commercial that shows all the employees “stepping up” to their registers and it says they are just going to be there this year to wait on us. WHAT A JOKE PEOPLE.

I went grocery shopping tonight at 11:30 PM and I finshed around 12:40 AM. I go to the front all pumped, invisioning the commercial I’ve seen about a hundred times on TV now, but of course there are 3 lines open and 50 people trying to check out with me.

What a scam, I was just let down, disappointment and the heart of Christmas was just sucked right from my heart! Not to mention all my frozen products started to get soggy.

So word to the wise, nothing has changed and just so you’ll know, don’t jump to Kroger because it’s not any better there……………tons of people…..no check out folks.

Happy Holidays and Have Fun Shopping
