So it is the Christmas season again and I can't believe there are only 3 weeks left in the year. I both love and hate this time of year. I love the holiday movies and songs. I love the baking and the crafts I get to make. I love that some people are less grouchy.
I have to say that I am one of those people who gets more grouchy and depressed. I hate that the holidays have been so commercialized. It's not about presents or giving or spending every dime in your pocket. It is about family and friends and getting together to have fun. Christmas is not the only holiday I feel has become too commercialized but it is the current one.
I will admit that yes I like the holiday but I think I dislike it more. I hate my allergies that have gotten so bad that I can't decorate the tree, which used to be my favorite besides baking. I hate the commercialism. I hate that I get all this stuff that I can't use so I have to find the time to return it.
I would be completely happy if I could do my baking and chocolate making, watch the movies, listen to the music, and craft. I also wish instead of gifts that I don't want people would just give me visa gift cards or cash that I could use anywhere. I think if people spent less time and money finding things that their kids or well anybody else don't need and/or won't use and just spent more time together I might like the holidays more. I have gotten to the point where I don't spend money on people anymore. Almost everything I am giving this year I have made and they are useful things that I know will be used.
Well that is my rant and I hope you enjoyed it...lol. Really all I want for Christmas this year is my best friend to start talking to me again, or at least explain what I did so I can try and fix it. Also it isn't a necessity but I wouldn't mind having a guy in my life but I don't see that happening.
