Amadeus and Renfield On Feast of Stephen

Amadeus and Renfield On Feast of Stephen

Amadeus Emanon had not touched his breakfast of a dozen egg omelette, 12 pancakes with maple syrup and a large helping of hash browns smothered in gravy.


Renfield sensed that something must be wrong.


"What is it, Amadeus?" Renfield happily munched away on his own breakfast of steak and eggs.


"Well, I've been listening to that radio station that's been playing Christmas songs the past few weeks and it played Christmas songs all day yesterday and then at exactly 12:01 AM today, it stopped playing Christmas songs. I was kind of hoping they'd play Christmas songs a while longer. After all there's supposed to be 12 days of Christmas aren't there?" Amadeus inquired.


"Well," Renfield reached for his bottle of whiskey and took a huge sip, "do you know what date this is, Amadeus?".


"December 26th," Amadeus replied.


"Exactly," Renfield belched, "Boxing Day. After all, people find it more important to save huge bundles of money on clothing and electronics than they do celebrating that God became human and became one with His own creation. And that's what Boxing Day is all about, Amadeus Emanon."


And that was Renfield's 21st Century Linus to Amadeus' 21st Century Charlie Brown.
