Ever since 18 - I've just not felt anything for this holiday except viewing it as an annoyance and a cause for more problems financially. Its hard to be in the holiday spirit when you are working retail - stupid people and customers and mass commericialism has really soured this holiday for me. When I was young, I was to ignorant to know about the real truths of Christmas in the adult world, as I'm sure were all of you.

I also work in a retail store where christmas music is going to have to be played alot in the upcoming weeks... I'm in the music section of a borders books and music - heh yesterday at work we banned christmas music for the day because everyone was just repulsed by it. I think the only good christmas music is by trans-siberian orchestra, and even that can get a little tiring sometimes. Most of that crap just feels so lame, hollow, shallow and condescending. But the amount of fucking fools who buy christmas music is astounding - these cheeky bastards actually buy this stuff to enjoy it - i don't understand people at all anymore.

Hell, for the past 3 years we have not even put up a christmas tree or lights - we just exchanged gifts on the night before or the morning of christmas day. Neither me nor my family is christian so... I suppose you can say that we exclusivly celebrate christmas commercially - which makes me wonder why we even bother at all.

Preach it, girlfriend!
