You'd better get out there and get to shopping because there's only 3 weeks left before that giant gift giving and taking event known as "Christmas." There's supposedly a story of a birth of someone behind the Christmas holiday but it was forgotten long ago...so, now it's all about Macy's and Wal-Mart.
Personally, I enjoy Christmas because I enjoy giving people gifts. But, there are some downfalls of the holiday season...let's review what they are:
- Christmas lights. Sorry...I am not a big fan of giant outdoor displays. I mean, there are nice displays and then there is the Griswald Christmas. I just don't need to see that.
- 100 Days of Christmas. Seriously...Christmas is starting at Halloween now. Why is it necessary to stop advertising Christmas in October or before? Let's chill until after Thanksgiving.
- The Attack on Christmas. I am so sick of hearing people attack Christmas. If you don't want to celebrate Christmas, don't. Get over yourself...no one is forcing you to celebrate...why does the minority in this country insist upon forcing their beliefs on the majority? There's something wrong with that.
- The Anxious. I mean the anxious people. People get real uptight around Christmas. What will I buy people? What if I forget someone? What if someone gives me a gift and I didn't buy them one? Will I have enough money? That's the downfall of giving gifts...it freaks people out.
So, Christmas is a good holiday but people need to chill out and enjoy the season rather than freak out and I could definitely do with less commercialism but I don't see that changing. So, you'd better get out there and get to shopping...not much time left. As for me, I'm shopping online only...no wait.
