  • The sparkle of Christmas lights

Things I dislike about Christmas:
  • #1 -----FruitCake
  • The Unnecessary Stress
  • Egg nog
  • Having to mutter, with a humble false smile, "No thanks, I was just browsing" approximately 1,345 times to poor, tired, and hungry salesclerks sporting bewildered expressions who dread my approach as much as I dread theirs.   
  • People who finish their Christmas shopping in October and are totally smug about it.
  • Grumpy shoppers. WHERE IS YOUR FUCKING CHRISTMAS CHEER? holy crap. 
  • The Religion Wars.- putting the Christ back in Christmas, or taking the Christ out of Christmas, with a little dash of self-appointed pagans whining about how the Catholic Church stole their solstice 1500 years ago and they want all of popular culture and history to reverse itself because they're special.  Nobody cares except you, OK?  Go be nice to your family.  That's the entire point. 
  • Ungrateful ppl who judge what you get them, and forget that the small thoughtful things are what counts, or even the fact that we actually

  • Fakeness..
Typo? Nope. Contradiction? You better believe it! I do love the fact that people are nicer to each other but I also really hate how they are only doing it because it’s Christmas. In a world where we are constantly on the go, we can feel overwhelmed and take it out on the ones we love the most. Is it really acceptable to wait over 300 days of the year to start being kinder to the most important people in your life??! Tell people you love them, hug them, thank them for being awesome ,hold doors open for them, get on the phone or call round instead of Facebook poking them! We’re humans God damnit!

The reason for the season. We give gifts to each other, not only to see the joy on the little children's faces or even the joy on the adults faces, but to imitate the gift given to us by Jesus. Peace on earth, good will towards men. We know that the holidays are special. Don't forget why.

Merry Christmas J Love Silly
