Not being Christian, this whole Christmas thing can get rather overwhelming. Look at the top swaps - half of them are Christmas related and it's only September! I don't begrudge anybody their celebration, but its a time of year I feel very much an outsider, yet unwittingly sucked into the consumer spending spree because of societal expectations. For this swap, send a card plus a short letter that is funny, sarcastic, or otherwise irreverent about the holiday season. Need ideas? Just Google "Bah Humbug"!! Feel free to rant and rave, unload, and express your inner Scrooge. You can use something handmade or storebought. Anyone can join, in any country,as long as you have a COMPLETELY filled out profile and no recent bad ratings. For those of you who aren't from US or UK, and who don't know what BAH HUMBUG is, it's an expression from a famous Charles Dickens' Christmas story about a mean-spirited man. It basically means "what rubbish!" or "what nonsense!" see Bah Humbug! Serious Version swap for a deeper look at the true meaning of winter holidays. |
