Today I heard the first musings of "the start of the holiday season," and I accordingly felt the first pangs of being pissed off at it. Having been at college for four years, I've heard plenty about how much the so-called season, as it stands, sucks. I've also heard people tell me why it sucks, and most explanations centered around a hatred of corporate America. I'm always the one to say, "It's not the corporations but the consumers; they're the ones who actually buy that junk."
Still, I get pissed off. But in my case, it's precisely because I really like Christmas. Sure, the incessant ads and promos irritate me, but the truth is that I don't like being bored of Christmas before December 1. And that's what happens. So I may as well wish the world a merry Christmas while the sentiment lasts.
Merry Christmas.
