It has been brought to my attention that my last post confused people. I was too nice. Love it! Apparently I need to get back to my Bah Humbug. Although I don't really agree with the above description.
I don't feel like a Scrooge. I just have my own beliefs, as we all should. If it's one thing I can't stand it's somebody who tries to make everyone like them.
I try not to deceive people. In fact I can be brutally honest, sometimes to my detriment. I would not want to fraud anybody either.
So what does the expression mean to me? Anything that makes me do something I don't want to. Like shop or survive winter. I really dislike winter. It makes me cold. It makes me have to wear spiky shoes so I don't fall. It makes me have to scrape my car off after work. (Although last night one of my co-workers scraped every one's car off. Yea!). And it makes me angry. I know I don't have any control over the weather, but it still makes me mad. My Bah Humbug really comes out this time of year.
I often use the expression to annoy people. I love annoying people especially if they are easily annoyed. And people are easily annoyed this time of year. What fun for me!
So if you hear a voice yelling Bah Humbug, you can bet it's me.
What annoys you, especially this time of year? Is it people like me?
P.S. Come back next week when I host a writer friend of mine - Allison Merritt.
I say Bah Humbug to Bah Humbug. Life is more fun with a positive attitude. :)
ReplyDeleteIt's part of the ying and yang of life. If you didn't have negative people like me how could you be positive. It's like a battery or a . . . I can't think of another example. Oh wait. Your glass wouldn't be half full if mine wasn't half empty. :-)
DeleteI guess I should thank you then.
DeleteI've never thought of you as the Scrooge type, Wanda. I hate winter as well. Shirley McCann ask me if I'd been drinking the other day when I said I felt like I was living on a Christmas card. The snow was falling and it looked so beautiful as I looked out the window. I told her to give me a few days. Well here I am with a snarl on my mouth! I hate cold weather, frozen snow and canceled exams at OTC! Bah Humbug
ReplyDeleteYea, a fellow winter hater!
DeleteMy husband is a big humbug this time of year as well. He's not fond of winter (though neither am I). I actually bought him a Bah Humbug Santa hat a couple years ago. He loves wearing it on Christmas. It got a lot of laughs the 1st year he wore it.
ReplyDeleteI would love to have that hat!
DeleteMy Bah Humbug is the LENGTH of xmas season. Do we really need four months of xmas?
ReplyDeleteI agree. I'm old enough to remember when we actually had Thanksgiving and Halloween.
DeletePeople who have a long list of designer items they want for xmas annoy me. It's a time for family, not a time for material gain.
ReplyDeleteMy son and I used to give to each other's favorite charities instead of gifts to each other.
DeleteI get annoyed at people who go on and on about how the meaning of Christmas has been lost. No it hasn't. I know what it means and I'm loving it.
ReplyDeleteCommercialism has tried it's best to take it over, but the meaning is still present.
