Its official.

I am sick of Christmas. And boy, I am GLAD its over.

Or more specifically, sick of the department stores [and other places] that insist on advertising Christmas in September.

I'm sick of materialism. I'm sick of commercialism.

I'm sick of those stores who simply cannot wait until after Halloween to start advertising Christmas. Its becoming sadder and more pathetic each year.

I'm turned off by all those happy fake smiles in the commercials. And those commercials that say 'shop now!'. While I understand its good for the economy go shopping around Christmas, I also think that it would be better taste to wait until AFTER Halloween to start advertising for Christmas.

I actually started dreading my once loved holiday.

Next year, I'm going to think of wants vs needs.

For example:
I want an iPod, but do I NEED it? No.

I need  new pairs of socks because my socks are wearing through, but do I WANT them? No.

Christmas isn't just about decorations and presents, its about friends and family too. I encourage you guys next year, to ask for what you need instead of what you want.
