Some have alluded to it, but let me be the first to say humbug

To what?

Are you making a Scrooge-like reference to the holiday season now upon us?

I'll second that. I've been saying it since before Halloween.

Sounds like Scrooge to me.

@JLFowler - you missed the most important part. 'Humbug' on its own misses the flavor of the season.

BAH...! Humbug...!

@evidentialist too much emphasis. I'm going for an indifferent dismissal

LOL....

one of my dogs is called humbug as he was born about now 6 years ago.

I have a pagan friend who names her cats Jesus and Loki

brilliant

I have already said Bah Humbug. Then I get down to practicing and playing Xmas carols. Next Saturday is the last time for these then they're put away for another year.

I get it - our planet’s tilted and the bulk of us live on the side that’s now pointing furthest from the sun. Winter’s a drag… In order to endure it, and find a reason to toss the kids some playthings early in the season, we ‘celebrate.’ There’s a time I’d have celebrated, too. Anymore … it feels like both religion and commercialism have won.. In that regard, and for the most part, I’m out.

Just trashed an email invite from a gardening group ..and expect more from others encouraging me to celebrate Christ-mass. They’ll be trashed, too... Took a multi-mile walk on the snow-coated Blue Ridge yesterday, and witnessed a magnificent blue-sky day today … every year feeling as though I’ve more successfully extracted myself from such nonsense 🙂
