The holidays turn me into a whiny, wimpy, obnoxious little person. I don't like spending ridiculous amounts of money on gifts for people who won't be that thankful and who don't really need a bunch of crap anyway. I try to remedy this consumerist spirit by making a lot of things or buying handmade. Of course, this plan is much more stressful than stopping by Target, so I add some frustration onto my bitterness.
I hate the whole spirit of secular XXXmas. Family togetherness is nice, but I don't really think my family enjoys being together. We do much better separately, sorry to say. Instead, our celebrations are just a gift-off. It's lame and annoying. I would rather just skip out on the whole thing, but tradition beckons me.
So there, you get some crankiness from me.
