The holiday season

Some people might find me a bit odd. Some people might find me a bit "un-holiday." I find myself just someone who wants to celebrate the holiday with little fanfare.

Why is another questions........
1. The commercialization of Christmas. When did it become vogue for people to write articles on how bad the holiday "Christmas" was and then give the reasons why? Christmas, as I was taught, was a holiday to celebrate the birth of Christ. This year, I saw a lot of people rushing around central Texas buying a lot of presents. Many people probably went into deep debt to purchase the new video game system or a large flat-panel TV.
2. Spend time with those who you love. Well, I unfortunately my fiance is in Russia.

There are a few more reasons, but I won't go into them.

- Merry Christmas to all. (Yes, it's a bit late.)
- Happy Holidays to everyone (This is for those who don't celebrate Christmas.)
- May the New Years bring everyone luck and good cheer (If you don't like this one, that's too bad.)
