How can you hates Christmas? Christmas is wonderful!
24 hours of a Christmas Story! Presents! Foods! Presents! Paid Holiday from work! Presents! Acceptable periods of shirking off work. Presents! Holiday specials on television! Presents!
Presents that I most likely don't want because people were forced to get them at the last minute just to attempt to fulfill said expectations. At this point, a gift is no longer a gift. A gift should be something I choose to buy for someone because I would like them to have it, not because I am expected to give them something on said day. Bah, I will give you all a break from my pessimism for now, enjoy your holidays.
I will agree about the presents. I purchased little things for mom and dad because between grad school apps and the wedding i had no time to shop. So after christmas I shall go to Ft. Wayne sometime and find something.
I don't know what your family's excuse was, though.
Also, sibling is still somewhere else so we STILL haven't opened presents at 1:30 p.m. This whole marriage business sucks ass.
i hates the christmas so much... soon, however it will be over and I will be free of crushing weight of expectations for another 300 or so days.
