i just heard this guy on the news saying how they think people will be spending less money on stuff this year. he said (in so many words) we shouldn't cut back on christmas presents for kids because they're already worried enough about dying and shit, if we bought less presents they would think something was really wrong.

I used to like Christmas, actually. It was great up until last year, which was my first year working retail. I have since grown to hate the season.
I'm thinking about making a shirt that says "let's celebrate Jesus by buying lots of crap we don't need!"

Growing up I always felt like the joys of Christmas revolved around the presents, but this isn't true. Each Christmas I would find that the best parts of the holiday would be all the delicious food, and catching up with friends and family I don't get to see the rest of the year. Oh and it's usually when my family goes on a movie binge at the theater and in video rentals. The "presents" are forgotten pretty quickly if they are things we don't really need or use. The 'shopping' season is extremely bad now though. There's so much pressure to buy stuff from so and so store and in the end it doesn't really mean anything. Most of us should be glad we get a hot meal at Thanksgiving or Christmas because so many others don't. Enjoy the holiday feasting season!

shopping for presents for people you have asked what do they want and you get no reply or replies like, i just want you to be here for the holidays, and i would like to scream at them sometimes but i know that they can't help it and maybe they are just not listening to themselves reply, so i end up buying stupid shit, thinking maybe this will give them a laugh and when they open it everyone will say hey that was a classic, but it backfires and everyone says burn it, makes me feel small at having tried to be different and unique and finding out that it was a waste of my mind trying to do that, so now i buy them clothes and books, give 20 bucks in a card, screw trying to give someone a print of some art, which will get given to someone else, because it wasn't good, or a box with shells, sand, stones, and wheat on the top, because you know that is going to the back of the closet (you drop by and you can still see the dust spots they missed when they grabbed it out, just for your visit), maybe i'll just stop giving presents out and instead slap them in the face and say merry fucking x-mas.

I read in an advice column that some people just go around looking for things to offend them. I say, if you are happy with your life, and stop caring so much about what they think, you'll be happier, and they will like you more.
I know, easier said than done. Anybody got a cupful of self esteem I can borrow?

it makes me nervous. incidentally, i didn't get any of my friends presents last year. not to look like a selfish bitch- i also didn't ask for any. they came anyways. *sigh* what i want to know is why it starts so goddamn early. there should be NOTHING even remotely Christmassy until December 2nd. if i see decorations or hear carols before that day, someone dies.

christmas is a time of year we indulge in consumerism for the sake of gain - for a profitable return on our good deeds.

I used to like the Christmas season...
...then I started working for the mall.
In Security.
Oh god...
...How I loathe the holiday shopping onslaught now.
How much happier I would be if I could just be with the family on Christmas Day instead of guarding an EMPTY FUCKING MALL. Not to mention being able to recover from the Thanksgiving celebration on Nov. 28 instead of working at the FUCKING MALL on "Black Friday".
If you can read this, please for the love of god, don't go Christmas shopping on the day after Thanksgiving. Your friendly neighborhood security officer will thank you for doing your part. Trust me. Even if he doesn't know you and will never see you.
I will love you if you stay home on Black Friday. Really.
