"Tis the season to be jolly, falalalalala. I love this time of year. Of course, who couldn't; making everything look festive, baking cookies, presents, snow, catchy songs... But there's also several things that bug me about the Christmas season.
One, I don't understand all the Christmas songs that involve people falling in love on Christmas Eve. For me, Christmas is about spending time with my family, and while I understand that I'm also 14 and can't drive or go to bars, I can't imagine why people would want to be out of their house on Christmas Eve, unless they lived very far away from their parents and going home is expensive and inconvenient. But I wish there were less Christmas songs about falling in love. I mean, I understand that Christmas is a magical time of year, and emotions are high, but in reality, it's not going to happen and it's kind of cruel of the media to project this image that you'll find your true love around the Christmas season.
Two, why schools can't call it "Christmas vacation," but they can have "Secret Santa" parties and sing Christmas carols for choir lessons. I think it's a little bit hypocritial of them. And really, why is it necessary to go to so much precaution to avoid "offending" people who don't celebrate Christmas. If anything, I would think that they wouldn't mind having two freebie weeks off for no special purpose. And a lot of people I know who aren't Christian celebrate Christmas. I just don't see what all the fuss is about.
Three, Minnesota winters. I love snow at first, when it's falling and it looks beautiful. But after Christmas, I would like it to disappear. It doesn't look pretty anymore; it looks like dog crap, from all the grit and dirt that defiles it. It gets bitterly cold, and it's just cold and ugly outside. My least favorite months are mid-January to March. I don't really know how it pertains to Christmas, but my weird little mind makes a connection and therefore so should yours.
Ahh well. There's more good then bad anyways. Happy Holidays, everyone.
Cheers,
