A young Mother was out Christmas shopping with her two children. After many hours of looking at shelf after shelf of toys, and everything else imaginable, and listening to her children asking for everything they seen on those many shelves, she finally made it to the elevator.
She stood there feeling what so many of us feel during the Holliday Season. The pressure to attend every party, every housewarming, taste all of the Holliday foods and treats, get the perfect gift for everyone on the list, sending cards to everyone on the list, and making sure we respond to everyone that sent a card.
Finally, the bell rang and the elevator doors opened, revealing an already crowded car. Somehow, she squeezed in with her bags, and managed to pull her kids in after her.
The doors closed, and she smiled at the lady next to her, and said, "Whoever started this Holliday stuff should be hunted down, strung up, and shot".
From the back of the car, a calm voice replied, "Don't worry, we already crucified him".
