Politically Correct Christmas

l. Do not call Santa's helpers elves. Such
references are considered rude and ill-mannered
ever since Mr. Claus was accused of exploiting the
height impaired.

2. Do not call it X-mas. Members of the gene pool
became irate that there was no Y-mas.

3. If you are a female, do not expect to sit on
Santa's lap. He's just finished depositions in a
sexual harassment lawsuit. Said Santa with a tear
in his eye, "I only asked her to sit on my knee
and tell me what she wanted for Christmas."

4. Christmas Eve is out. The term "Eve" carries an
overwhelming gender connotation that might be
disturbing to some. From now on it's just the
night before Christmas, please.

5. The night before Christmas might have to be
moved to a different date anyway. Animal rights
protesters want the reindeer to have the night
off. And Christmas Day. And aren't reindeer on the
endangered species list?

6. "God Rest Ye Merry Gentlemen" has got to go.

7. And who named Bethlehem anyway? Beth?

8. Do not, under any circumstances, give dolls as
gifts this year. They suggest a male-oriented
fantasy that little girls could never up to grow into.

9. And avoid giving fruitcakes. They are clogging
our landfills and you might get the Environmental
Protection Agency after you.

10. Do not hang mistletoe. Unless you live alone.

11. Do not take your loved one to see any version
of A Christmas Carol. The Department of Children
and Family Services is said to be investigating
how Tiny Tim ended up in such dire
circumstances.
Scrooge is also reportedly under investigation for
money-laundering.

I'M BLEEDING

I knew it from the very start that you would only hurt me and hurt me you did.
I made lots of serious mistakes when I chose you. My life has totally changed. I am not the ME I knew before you. I suffered all my friends teasing. My aunts insiduous remarks. Low grades and sometimes low self-esteem.And an almost empty pocket due to frequent text mesages.
Maybe the time has now come to call it quits. I know my friend won'y lie. It is such a pity that you chose the wrong girl to fool around with.
I'm not the jealous type. In fact I don't feel jealous right now. All I feelis this seething pain deep within. I want to cry yet I can't. It seems that my heart and my brain is covered with frost.
I don't hate you. I knew that this love affair won't last forever from the very start.
You hurt me.
