I personally can't stand the "Christmas Season" as our society defines it, but I look forward to Advent every year on the Church calendar. I mean, I like Santa and A Christmas Story and all that, but really to me there has to be much more to it, otherwise it IS just another day that one must simply endure.
Please, I don't want to get into a big religious discussion, I just figured I'd point that out.

I agree. Wholeheatedly. It's just disheartening when the secular part of Christmas, that I dislike, is SOOOO overwhelming.
We were in Home Depot on
October 15th and they had Christmas shit up FFS. A guy doing some work for my dad said his wife put up 5 ****ing Christmas trees in his house.
All that stuff does is create undue stress. "OMG I have to get the lights up!" "FOOOOOOOOCK a lightbulb burned out." "What if they don't like the gift I got them? We have to make sure we spend the same amount on each kid. But your sister got your parents that!!!!" "We're going to be late for dinner! ZOMGWTFBBQ The rolls aren't done...NOOOOOOOO"
**** that shit. I try to become a hermit and avoid the shit as much as possible and try to find a way to get to church and study the reason for the season.
Just my take.
