Around this time of the year everyone become super
charitable, and for a month or so everyone suddenly decides to perform random
acts of kindness for strangers. Sometimes I feel like this is almost cheating-
everyone knows you just want to be on the nice list. If you actually are a
do-gooder, props to you. Just keep in mind that nobody fun goes to heaven, and
that you should probably balance out your saintly acts with some minor crimes
or something. Honestly, I don’t understand what’s so wrong with being on the naughty
list anyways. In fact, coal is actually a really useful thing to have around!
When the power goes out and there’s nothing to feed the fire with, who is
everyone going to turn to for help? The badass naughty-list people with coal
obviously!
But
for all you naughty-listers who aren’t afraid of power outages, here are some
nice things you can do for people this Christmas. You’re welcome. And feel free
to thank me from heaven… I like diamonds, puppies, and male models. Surprise
me.
