This will give me some time off.......
Im currently enjoying Modern Warfare 2 and Left 4 Dead 2 at the moment but Ill still review a bit on Christmas.
Now, I love christmas, who doesn't? Its the time where you flip on the TV, put on the fire in the chimney, warm up the house, put up the christmas tree, and enjoy being with your family, and best of all.......PRESENTS!!!
Christmas time is most known for the amounts of gifts you give and get. Mostly thanks to marketing and the media and because of this, Christmas is no longer only about celebrating Jesus's birthday, its about EVERYONE getting together and celebrating peace and good will.
I enjoy it this way, No religion gets in the way, no political beliefs. Heck, even the Jews are starting to celebrate it. If you aren't doing so, either:
A. You live somewhere remotly where no one notices your alive
B. You just don't like the holidays
C. Your the Grinch
Christmas, I always love the feeling around it, the colors, the environment, the music. I just don't get enough of that.
Then of course there are the bad parts of christmas.
First of all there is the shopping.
EVERY SINGLE COMPANY, will do sales around christmas time, this is the time where everyone is buying gifts and where we must rush to get them. Everywhere you go, you see prices drop and people rushing around.
All in all, its kind of funny to watch a 45 year old mom try to buy Super Mario brothers for her sons Xbox (Yes, I actually saw a mom doing that) The mall plays christmas music around even in october, there are Mall Santas everywhere, people rushing, its kind of funny.
Second comes in the christmas cards,
I hate doing these, but seriously, just use E-mail or a phone, theres no need to christmas cards. I like them and all but doing them is a REAL PAIN!!!
Lastly, is the stress, sometimes its leaving an impression on your cousins, sometimes its trying to buy the perfect gift, other times, its just there. I take christmas nice and slow. Always making sure I know what I am getting into when it comes to this time of year.
Anyways, have a happy Holidays!
