christmas
i hate christmas. but i do hate christmas a whole lot less now than i did before. i got over the idea that it should have any greater meaning. it's winter. the days are short. and i get a touch of sad. it's cold. but at least i can shop online now and i don't have to go to the stores. i have trained most of the people who want to give me gifts and expect me to be appreciative to either not give me junk or to not expect much appreciation. and the whos. oh the whos. they get so excited. there's no controlling them. if only i could stop christmas from coming... err wait. maybe that part's not so bad.
