Dashing through the store,
With one thing on my mind
Still got a bunch of gifts,
That I have yet to find
Bells on registers ring
Charging this and that
Oh what fun it is to shop
And go deeper in debt!

…

Deck the halls with Christmas bills
Fa-la-la-la-la, la-la-la-la
Tis the season to spend money
Fa-la-la-la-la, la-la-la-la
Don’t open the mailbox, the bills will fall out
Fa-la-la, la-la-la, la-la-la.
Interest rates make me want to shout
Fa-la-la-la-la, la-la-la-la.

…

Have yourself a merry little Christmas
Let you wallet be light
From now on
Your money will be out of sight
Have yourself a merry little Christmas
You have bills to pay,
From now on
You’ll be working 14 hours a day!

…

Oh, the economy out there is frightful
But the fire is so delightful
And since we haven’t got any dough
Let it snow, let it snow, let it snow.

It doesn’t show signs of stopping
And I brought some corn for popping
The economic factors are low
Let it snow, let it snow, let it snow

…

Mary, did you know
That your credit card is way over its limit?
Mary, did you know
That when you’re low on cash, you really shouldn’t spend it?
Did you know
That you can barely pay this months rent
If you buy the gift you want
You’ll be paying another 25% percent!

…

Oh, I’m gettin’ nuttin’ for Christmas
Mommy and Daddy are broke!
I’m getting’ nuttin’ for Christmas
‘Cause this economy is quite a joke!

…

City sidewalk, busy sidewalks
Dressed in holiday style
Enticing you to spend
More than you should.
Children screaming, people pushing
Seeking sale after sale
And in every mail box you’ll find…
Christmas bills, Christmas bills…

…

Joe Gregorio: “We’re doing it all wrong.”

Indeed.

There’s still quite a bit of work to do, but the Apache Abdera committers and the Apache Incubator have just voted to graduate Abdera as a new Top Level Project. In a few weeks, http://incubator.apache.org/abdera will become http://abdera.apache.org. This is fantastic news! :-)

FWIW… here’s how the Presidential election shaped up here in Kings County.
