Christmas

NOTE: I realize that the title of this blog promises that there will be cartoons. And as of yet I have not presented anything resembling a cartoon. This is because the inspiration to ramble has hit me at a point in my week when I don't have the time to draw anything.
Cartoons will be coming in the near future. And they will not make any sense.
Just saying.
Now to tonight's rambling.

Christmas is coming shortly and I've been trying to reconcile my love of the holiday with the reality that it's pretty much total fiction (I'm being generous, this is the season on generosity).
I came up with a lot of long winded philosophical things to say. A lot of them sounded like "Yes Virginia there is a Santa Clause" but with Jesus in place of Santa. I thought a lot about it for much longer than it really deserves. Then I finally said to heck with all that philosophy crap.
I love Christmas! It's fun. I love giving presents. I love decorations. I love baking Christmas cookies. I even love Christmas music. I love the whole damn season!
I really don't care if it's based on something that never happened. So is Star Wars and I enjoy that just fine.
Now if you'll excuse me, I have to go hang up my Garfield Christmas stocking.

OK. So I did manage to sneak in one cartoon. If you're willing to read this far I suppose I should give you something. But it is a really old one. From my original Flappy the Bat web comic.
