I have been investing for eight years. Some of my little friends say there is no Santa Claus rally. My broker says, "If you see it in The Inquirer, it's so." Please tell me the truth, is there a Santa Claus rally?
With the stock market still well off its all-time highs, belief in a Santa Claus rally requires as much imagination as believing in the Jolly Old Elf himself.
or
"When she was growing up the daughter of a lobster fisherman in Maine, she never thought she'd one day wind up being the first lady of the United States."
Yuck.
And while we're at it let's kill all stories that allude to "shop 'til you drop".
Please Santa, send all journalists 5 alternative phrases to replace "in the wake of Sept. 11"
Also, this isn't a holiday-related cliche, but sadly, the phrase "thinking outside the box" has come to be a cliche itself.
As for the Channell 11 yule log, apparently it will be running for 2 hours this Christmas. People complained when they killed the "show" completely.
And, as already related, 'It's that time of year again.' It's always that time of year, folks.
I think I needs some spirits!!!
Happy Holidays
Also, can we avoid any dark clouds cast over the holiday season?
A true winner: "The dark cloud cast over the holiday season in the wake of the Sept. 11 attacks showed its silver lining yesterday when shoppers decked the malls in force. The sound of ringing cash registers" blah blah blah blah blah.
Please, spare your readers.
