Anybody not in the mood for christmas?

I think this holiday is over-the-top and hyped up by the media way too much. To me , christmas is just another excused to waste money on useless items that you will probably replaced the next time christmas comes around! To me christmas is no more different than Valentine's day : There all just another excuse to boost the economy. Not that I'm against practicing capitalism. But please see this holiday for what it is and its certainly not magical . There isn't anything magical about it capitalism at its peak. I The only people who will enjoy christmas the most are people under twelve. College students will also enjoy christmas the most because they get a month off to stray away from school for awhile to relax. I don't understand why people over 25 who don't have any children enjoy this holiday so much. You can be around family anytime of the year . In fact, I don't think I want to be around a lot of people in the winter; I want to stay in bed for awhile and not talk to anybody until their isn't an inch of snow left on the ground.

i NEVER used to like christmas, because people hustle and bustle around getting useless ornate objects and my under-privileged family couldn't afford much... but i liked the blinky lights on the christmas tree and i loved sneaking in the gifts or trying to find where my mom might have hid them... i joined the military reluctantly [still hating it] and now I am clear across the country longing to be home just for the taste of yummy cookies and putting the angel on the tip of the tree. I am working christmas, just like i work thanksgiving and they want me slaving away on new years too. i would kill for the holiday spirit. enjoy what you got, even if its a phoney christmas card with no money inside and signed "love somebody" inside because its better than being away from anyone and everyone and working on a day people normally have off.
