christmas time is a unique time

Funny thing about christmas time is that it is a wicked combination of alot of things.
Selflessness - Always interesting to see which people have a tendency of buying themselves more shit rather then others. I'll spend $180 on myself for shoes, and then get my family a bunch of cheap gifts for under twenty bucks. Maybe you've spent the last 3 days at the homeless shelter and you feel really good about it.
Guilt - When people recieve gifts from others unexpectedly and then feel guilty about it, and quickly go and get something in order to give this person something in "return".
Being back in your home town - For many it is the only time of the year when people make the treck back to their hometown to spend a few days being nostalgic, and being happy to be back home. As well as seeing old friends and lovers (either wondering how these people were ever your friends, or wondering why you don't see or talk to them enough), maybe feeling old or not as grown up as other people around you.
Family - Being so blisfully happy to be around then and their warmth, or wondering when the fuck you will be given permision to get away from them while they generally drive you up the wall.
Christmas Carols - Either beautifully sung by some talented carolers, or making you go insane while you try and make some extra cash for the holidays while working at the local grovery store. "If I hear jingle bell rock one more time, I'll fucking kill somebody!!!"
Make or Break time for many relationships - For some reason around this time of year people either break up or end up in relationships... don't really know why this is.


I'd like to write more, but company is here.. anyhow I hope christmas is happy and wonderful for all, and if it isn't... don't worry its almost over scrooge.
