All About Creepmas

 

CREEPMAS is a good-natured push back at Retail America for trying to force Christmas down our throats as early as July. Something has gone seriously wrong with how holidays are marketed to us in the last 5 years. When you go to a major retail store in mid-October only to find they've gotten rid of all their Halloween merchandise in favor of snowmen & Santas, well, it's time to take action!

Something as utterly ridiculous as Christmas trees in August deserves an equally ridiculous response!

CREEPMAS is for those Halloween lovers and Monster Kids who want to say "enough is enough" - if they're going to put their Christmas into our Halloween, then let's put our Halloween into their Christmas! Tim Burton showed us that it can be done with marvelous results, and we're definitely following his lead.

The 13 Days of Creepmas is an online Celebration of Spookiness from December 1 - 13. The idea is to bring a macabre twist to Christmas and the holidays. Get creative and post it on your blog - share your twisted yule visions with the world!

Now bear in mind - this is for FUN. We're not out to ruin other peoples' holidays and sabotage/vandalism are NOT what we're promoting. Leave the neighbors' nativity scene alone. The 13 Days of Creepmas is about how you decorate yourself, your home and/or your life to let the world know that you are a CREEP! Wear it loud, wear it proud!

And Thanksgiving? Sorry, you turkey - you're on your own.

a few years ago, when the mentally challenged woman first moved in the apartment above me, a few days before Hallowmas; for some reason on Hallowmas proper she called the local police dept, gave them her name & my apartment number.  3 hours before my ceremony i was trying to explain to an upset policewoman that i had no idea why the woman upstairs gave them my apartment number; when she finally left, within seconds the baptists (the cop?) left a bible tract. 

here is an odd idea that really helped me back in Georgia as i was been bothered at work about every 6 weeks about my beliefs (i did not know long hair and skirts was the uniform of the pentacostals, i just liked them). ...   first pretend they really believe they are acting out of compassion, then borrow an idea from the Buddhists ... the dedication of that energy.   ...   this is what i did to the last person that ever gave me a bible tract and i have warned them at work that i may do it again if i get any more tracts from the locals ...

 

this lady gave me a track, i smiled, took it gladly, patted her hand and excitedly thanked her for her compassionate action .... i invited her to come back as often as she wanted as i was dedicating the merit of her compassion to the benefiting of sentient beings with the intention that we BOTH become Buddhas faster .... she got very confused, i said i would love to receive more tracts as i would dedicate those energies and we both could become Buddhas and wasn't that wonderful?  i never saw her or anyone else again

 

so when they come, you can thank them for their prayers then loudly dedicate the energies to the benefit of Mother Earth and all life, then tell them that thanks to their prayers you all will become Deities much faster.  (I tweaked it a bit for you.)   depending on who they are they will either get very confused or maybe get in a huff and leave or try to argue with you all the while you smile and say i'm dedicating your energies thank you keep it up ...

 

just a weird idea but it worked for me down in cobb "newt gingrich" country/marietta GA ....
