Seriously, I am not fond of Thanksgiving nor Christmas. It's the same thing every year, and I have to see my family (which I'm not the biggest fan of, though I do love them). Further more I ahve the feeling that my girlfriend guilt tripped my mother into inviting her two sisters, and one of her sister's fiance and kid to thanksgiving. Tehse two sisters are irresponsible, annoying, and overall completely irritating. So now I ahve to spend tomorrow with all of them as well.
Does the whole "Holiday Spirit" just annoy the hell out of anyone else? Maybe it's all the hype and publicity of it... I just don't know.
Holidays....
(Retail)One holiday at a time! There was X-mas stuff out before Halloween stuff, and Thanksgiving stuff was almost completely non available this year, maybe I should have looked for fall/thanksgiving stuff in ?July?.
October - Halloween
November - Thanksgiving
December - Christmas | Hanukkah | Kwanzaa
I was truely disgusted last week, when up in SF, there were people already dressed llike some sort of Charels Dickens nightmare squaking and squeeling carols (in Mid November!) and the public spaces are already decorated for x-mas. I was so disgusted, that I actually said loud enough for surrounding people to hear me, "Shut the F! up, we havent even had Thanksgiving yet!"
X-mas over the past so many years has become completely obnoxious!
$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$ Corporate Greed $$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$
Corporations restructuring the Holiday seasons, in the way that best suits their needs, to make strong Profit. Opening the holiday shopping window earlier and and keeping it open longer, so that the branded consumer cattle can gourge themselves longer on consumer wares from the retail trough.
When the Pre-Holiday, Holiday, and Post Holiday shopping window comes to a close, the cattle are left empty and exhausted, the corporations fat.
