HAPPY HOLIDAYS

Holidays = Crazy.
Being around family you love...to hate.
Working at the mall is a bust on personal life.
Traffic sucks.
Gaining weight.
Red and Green is overdone.
GOD let me just mention holiday music... 100.3FM
Travel prices sky rocket. (gas prices, plane tickets...)
Weather blows.
Corporate Christmas Parties suck a double s
Grandmas ugly sweater gift she made herself.
Neighbors light set up in the front yard you can see through your window that keeps you up at night.
Any attempt to go to the store for just ONE thing is NOT worth it.
Shipping anything in the mail is delayed by two days.

Lets just say that there are many reasons to hate the holidays. This time comes around only once every year but God, how annoying and stressful it can be.
I was in the woman's bathroom at work today and politely said to the woman washing her hands next to me, "hello how are you? ready for the holidays?" She replies, "No not really, holidays aren't the same anymore. It's all about business" and walked away.
I stood there in awe, trying to relate my holiday time, and what she described her's as.
My first Christmas away from home, meaning I spent it with my dad, stepmother and step siblings. Christmas morning while we were unwrapping presents, My step brother opens up a brand new I Pod Touch! I was so jealous! His response wasn't the same or what I would have thought it to be. He said "what?! an IPod touch? I don't need this and I didn't even want this one, my dad got me a better one." Wow, all I could do is look at him and say "wow, I cant believe you would say something like that... I'm taking your present I got for you and giving it to someone else who would appreciate it." I almost back handed him across the face... What a little brat!
I have come to realize that Christmas has become a reason for us to be even more greedy, stuck up, get *ucked up, hate our lives and stress each other out.
This is NO BUENO! I feel like every year that passes we fall further and further away from what the holidays are all about, which is the reason why we are here in the first place, why we have our own free will. Can we please celebrate the real reason for life this holiday season?
ThanksKBye ;)
