1. Christmas is not a Christian holiday. its a pagan holiday for pagans. Baby Jesus wasnt born in December, and he sure didn't chop down an evergreen tree and set it beside the manger. Humans are idiots, and seem to perpetually do stupid things(like celebrate Christmas) without any reason or thought.
2. Obligated Giving. What The Fuck?
3. Useless gifts. Everything I want or need is over $200.. why? because if it was cheaper i would just go and buy it. I am completely content and in need of nothing. this means that everything i get for Christmases will likely be a waste of space.. i will have to spend time and thought to put it to use.
4. Christmas music. Oh god, make it stop.
5. Santa Claus.
a.) Lieing to children is wrong. Terribly horribly wrong... although if your the kind of parent that lies to their kids, the betrayal they feel when they find out about Santa should make them never trust you again... which would be a good thing.
b.) The current incarnation is purely a product of the Coca-Cola company... their soda tastes like dirty rocks and sugar and burns your mouth.
6. Drunkenness. All holidays are merely an excuse to consume large amounts of alcohol and get blindingly drunk. Its disgusting. This plus bad weather is horrific.
...
despite all this, i am very much looking forward to my excuse to come home and see family again. I miss them all very much, both my own and Alix's.
on the present acquisition list i am down to two.
t-4 days till departure.
