For the past several years I have felt a very large dislike (hatred) for the Christmas Holidays. It started when the stores started putting Christmas crap up earlier and earlier. Add to that Christmas music, which is the most abhorrent music ever. It is an aural assault and every crappy “music star” has to record their own version of it to pollute the radio waves with.
On top of all of this I work for a major retailer so I feel terrible that I contribute to this commercialisation of overconsumption. I don’t actually produce any of the sales garbage but I do support all of the designers and machinery that put it into motion. I enjoy the giving and receiving of gifts as much as the next person but I really enjoy home made gifts or time spent more than someone buying me something. With one exception, buying me some beer or booze is acceptable year round and it will be greatly enjoyed.
