Bah Humbug

That’s right. I officially fucking hate Christmas.

It’s not even Thanksgiving yet, and I’m already ready for the crummy holidays to be over.

Don’t get me wrong, I wasn’t always such a jaded A-hole. Naturally, I thought getting presents from Santa was totally great when I was a little kid. That’s because Christmas is supposed to be for little kids to get presents. Not full-blown grown-ups purchasing items off of each others lists of SKU numbers, or those thoughtless gift cards to some useless Home Entertainment store.

This business of gift-giving (and receiving) as an adult just turns my stomach. Unfortunately I see it as just another day of hauling a load of boxed-up crap and paper home- all stuff which is destined for the landfill anyway. Come to think of it, if the transfer station were open on X-mas, I might consider stopping there on the way home to avoid having the clutter on my sidewalk.

Anybody else feel like I do?
