I love Christmas. About
...No, I really do. No kidding. I live for Christmas!
Why, you ask? Well, let me tell you:
Because it's the one time of the year people are finally allowed to be happy!
Because it's the one time of the year we don't feel the urge to force ourselves to care about all the problems in this world. Because I don't have to tell you about the problems. You know them. You know them by heart. You spend about 340 days a year confronting yourself with them (or being confronted if you try to escape them). Seriously, we dedicate our friggin LIVES to worrying and waving our fingers at each other and being told how we should worry and wave our fingers at each other. And you know what? Those problems? Yeah, they're still there. Because there's not that much you can do about it. So you worry and wave your finger and you get depressed and mean and everybody else will tell you that you're a bad person because you have it easy compared to other people and you should be happy.
-But, guess what? SCREW THAT CRAP! It's Christmas!
No, it doesn't really matter that it's Christmas. Call it the holidays if you're more comfortable with that. Hey, for what it's worth, call it Peel A Banana Day! I don't care what you call it or what you celebrate or how. Christmas doesn't have to be about anything in particular. Christmas is a season to celebrate the birth of Jesus. Christmas is a season to "give and get" like there's no tomorrow and spend all your money on stuff nobody will ever need. Christmas is also a season to sit around the fireplace and sing songs and drink tea or hot chocolate. Christmas is a season to watch TV and polish your toenails, why not.
Just as long as we all keep one thing in mind: Christmas is season to be happy. It's the one time of the year when you're free to ignore all problems and be fine with it. It doesn't make you a bad person. It doesn't mean you are heartless. It's just one time of the year when you don't have to be depressed by things you can't change.
And that's why I love Christmas.
