Christmas, what's the friggin deal!?

Ok, don't think I'm a psychotic Santa killing, reindeer hunting maniacial grinch or something, but what is up with xmas? When I grew up we didn't do xmas, hannukah, kwanzaa, ramadan, national lightbulb month or anything like that. Anyways, I was at Wal-Mart after a good friend of mine got a new puppy [1/4 malamute 1/4 wolf 1/2 husky] getting some supplies for it when I was virtually lost in a sea of disgruntled shoppers who were so "jolly" I could envision WW3 breaking out if they managed to find any seriou firearms that weren't locked up. Anyways, All I saw were a bunch of people getting pissed off from waiting in line, employees dealing with total morons, and enough shoplifting to make santa roll over in his grave. Anyways, why is this crap put off to be so "joyous" anyways? Wait, maybe I should bring this up with marketing professionals . . .

Anyways, I had a decent day off, I stayed up a bit, finished the 1st Halo book [Fall of Reach (has nothing to do with the toothbrush, and I reccomend any Halo fans to check it out)], and had some fun with a friend of mine. I hope everyone had a good weekend and made the wise decision of avoiding any retail outlets, malls, and/or department stores.
