I am really not sure what it is about this time of year that makes me despise it so much, but I do. I hate christmas with a passion, I hate shopping, presents, carols, cake, panetone, lunches, dinners, eve's and everything else that goes along with this holiday. I am not a religious man and I think that this is why this holidays frustrates me so much. I think that people have taken what used to be a tradition of holy proportion and bastardized it in to time of year to purchase exorbitant gifts for people that they should be loving the entire year and spoiling every day, not just on one day of the year.Silly, silly time of the year coated in joy, love and happiness. What a load of shit.
