100 Word Challenge for Grown Ups – Week#69 … Bah Humbug

Bah humbug is a phrase coined famously by Ebenezer Scrooge in the Christmas Carol by Charles Dickens.  He declares to the Ghosts of Christmas, that the coming festival is a mere sweetie, a waste of time and fraudulent.  Of course time has told us that he is correct.  But it is also an occasion of good cheer, a pleasant well deserved holiday at the end of a busy time; an ironic bitter sweet twist to the tale. For me it is time that the emperor from another fairy story put on his cloths and allowed me to have a sherbet dab.
