I hate Christmas, I really do. There isn't anything happy about a season where people have to pretend to be generous while actually being greedy. Give a 'great' present and next year the recipient will feel compelled to get you a better one. There is no real generosity in Christmas anymore, it's all fake. Even the people who go nuts on facebook with all the memes of "He's the reason for the season" These are the same people who spend the rest of the year only posting silly photos or cats. Nothing real there either. The supposed Christmas mass is nothing more then a farce as well. Going to church on Easter and Christmas isn't going to save one's soul. It's only a way make yourself feel better.
There is no joy left in the holiday. Instead people trudge around, struggling to buy the ever more expensive gifts for spoiled children who can't truly appreciate the things being bought for them since the parents are so readily willing to pull out their credit cards to replace it with the next biggest thing a year later.
The Christmas season is dead. Real and truly dead, now it's all about one upping each other, making money, and shopping for meaningless trivial crap.
