In the midst of the holiday hustle and bustle, it’s sometimes easy to lose track of what’s really important. We can sometimes get caught up in finding the perfect gift, and forget that it’s not what you give that’s important, because the world is ending on Friday anyway.
Yes, the long foretold end of the world (or at least the end of the Mayan calendar) is almost here.
As with any apocalyptic prediction, this one has attracted plenty of crazies…I mean true believers.
Of course, who am I to judge, I admit I don’t know what will happen or not happen on Friday. Maybe the world will end. Maybe the Mayans will finally release the new edition of their calendar (it’s been too long). The truth is that none of us really know.
Of course, if you’re feeling a little squeamish, and aren’t quite ready to meet your maker, you can always book a trip to Sirince, Turkey or Bugarach, France. Both cities are supposedly being spared the doomsday Friday due to “positive energy.”
The rest of us will just have to try the less expensive option, a little closer to home and with our own “positive energy.”
