Christmas goes green - oh dear!
10:42am Thursday 6th December 2007
WELL here we are for another year, Christmas!
Although if you're either (a) at home sitting in front of the telly ill, or (b) sitting at home in front of the telly along with your six children eating chocolates while claiming off the rest of us, you may be a bit tad confused when the big day actually is with seasonal' advertising having started three months previous.
Now dear reader you may wonder what your favourite blogger The Black Bin Bag' is on about this week. What has this latest rant got to do with recycling, I hear you cry from out there in cyber-space. Well, I'll explain!
The thing is, these days Christmas has also been hijacked by the recycling Nazis.
While large corporations want to brainwash couch potatoes into buying the latest must have doll' for little Britney, complete with a host of realistic bodily functions, councils and even schools are keen to spoil the festive season.
Not only youngsters, but also workers enjoy sending Christmas cards to each other. But now many schools and places of work such as councils think this practise is tantamount to murder, stating that sending such colourful cards is not an environmentally friendly practise'.
If you, like The Black Bin Bag are a big fan of Christmas I'm encouraging everyone to slap these green idiots around the head with a proverbial sandal'.Send your children to school with a handful of the largest cards you can find to hand out to their friends and as for wrapping presents I find the shiny non-biodegradable' kind the best to use to wrap Britney's doll.
