Let's talk about Santa

So Christmas is just around the corner (this is a very 'Ghanaian ' expression. Lol). Anyway, I was listening to 'Santa Claus is coming to town'.. And I started thinking..

This Santa guy... Why do so many people like him? Why isn't he in jail? Or at the very least, why hasn't he been ostracized?

I mean fine, it's sweet that he goes around granting wishes and sharing gifts (this is debatable) but the guy is just damn shady.

- what's the compensation for being Santa's elf these days? Or in this present day and age the North Pole still doesn't have any labor laws? They do all the work, and the fat guy gets all the credit. Smh.

- the reindeers. What's their deal? Dragging bags n bags of gifts across the world ('the world', my foot. D guy barely made it to my village). Don't they get tired? ( I bet that's why only the city folks know about Santa. Basically if you are one of those who go to the village for Christmas then sorry, no gift under any tree). Why aren't the Animal Rights Activists going on about that? Instead they keep singing about some reindeer who had a very shiny big red nose. Sigh..

- why must there be a prerequisite for getting on Santa's list. Life is hard as it is. Now he has added his 'wahala'. Just because of some gift (half the time he get's the wrong gift anyway), 'noko fio ni gbomo Baye' !! Why do I have to be good the whoooole year. A year is a very long time to be good oh. Santa, you say wetin?

- and just imagine.. Trying your hardest to be good the entire year. Expecting a bicycle, and getting a toy car instead. What the hell is that all about Santa? How come some people get what they want and others don't. Look Santa, if you know you are not gonna come correct just don't come close to the damn chimney or else FIRE BURN YOU !! *Rolls eyes

- and goodness, am I the only one who thinks the guy is just an old perve ? What's really really good? How and why should I respect some old guy who hops from house to house, rubbing his belly and laughing at kids, calling little girls 'Ho Ho Ho' and leaving gifts.. Dude might as well come down the chimney singing 'small girl you dunno the tin, I am teaching you the tin, you are playing with the tin!' gosh. Hot Mess!

:)

Perhaps I just have some serious unresolved issues when it comes to Santa. Hard feelings chale. He is too demanding and yet sometimes I never quite get exactly what I wanted for Christmas, what IS up with that? At first I thought it was because our tree was artificial, then I thought perhaps it was because I didn't have a chimney.. But I've last time I had a chimney and another time I had a real tree and then another time I had both PLUS snow (note I got the worst Christmas gift that year. I got a damn scarf. Santa, seriously? It wasn't even one of those comfy scarves to keep my neck warm, it was one of those scarves typically used by black women to keep their wrapped hair intact (which probably would have been more useful if I had a perm, but I had nappy hair! I had gone natural.) Oh Santa Santa Santa Effing Claus. I got a nice comfy sweater as well, but it was too big. So ya, Santa basically called me fat. He should be one to talk.. Pot calling kettle black!
Sigh
Anyway I know that this Christmas I'll be getting some good gifts, no help from Santa ofcourse. I'm just lucky my loved ones are smart enough to ask me what I want for Christmas. Anything else I get will be a bonus. I'm wondering what Santa will do this year though.. Isn't he supposed to get you that gift that you wish for so badly? Haha. I know that's definitely not gonna happen.. So, Santa, once again.. Epic Fail. Well then Santa, anything goes, I don't really care what you get me, I know how you do.

:p

So here's the deal..

So it's been almost a year since I blogged.. Should I say it's cos now I have a life (wait, back then what was the deal with my life then), or it's cos I have nothing to say ( a whole ME! Nothing to say? Na lie!), or it's just cos I've been stressed or lazy ( hehe).. Who knows man? But blogging got hard chale.. Oh also I must confess, I have been writting once in awhile ( I just have an email list I send them to.. Oops).
Anyway, I've been meaning to update my blog and today I decided twas time. You know how the evil forces work though, lol, I can't remember my damn login information. Real talk, dumb skit. Anyway so I am blogging from my fon, which is super annoying cos I feel like I've been typing a very long msg and my thumb effing hurts . :(
So byee
N since I dun remember the password for the email address that I used for this blog, how shall I retrieve my blogger password. It was a hotmail address and no1 uses hotmail anymo, so ya I dun remember the password. Le Sigh!
