Queen Of The Dirt

So this is supposed to be the happiest time of the year. A time where families come together, where peace and love and harmony are abundant. Christmas is supposed to make everyone happy. So why does this time of year make me so aggravated? MANY reasons. Here are a few:

• Shopping: Now don’t get me wrong, I am a woman. I love to shop most of the time. Not during Christmas when people are crazy and stampede all over each other to try to get the last wii. This is insanity not love and happiness.
• Gift giving: There are many people I love and enjoy making happy. Why do we have to have one day in the year to prove how much we love each other by the amount of money we spend on them.
• Christmas Carols: I hate it.
• Decorating: You put it up then have to take it down a month later, waste of money. I would rather spend my money on home decor that I want to leave up in my house for a long period of time.
• Weather: I hate cold weather, maybe if Christmas was in the summer I would like it a little bit more.
• Work: I work in a place that gets super busy during Christmas. The people that come in are stressed and in a hurry and make my 9-5 a little more difficult.
• Long Lost relatives: They are lost for a reason. So why are we pressured to communicate and see them during holidays.

With all this being said, I will still continue to buy as many presents I can afford and visit family and friends during Christmas time. I just wish that this holiday was a little less commercialized and a little bit more sincere.
