Ahhhhhhhhhhh.... Holiday Depression...
-
...is here again. Donno if it's the stress of buying gifts, the horrible traffic caused by idiots who think "shopping" means "drive around until you drop from exhaustion, buy whatever is sitting in front of your nose, then return it tomorrow & repeat", the inane ads: “holidays are for couples – look at this nice couple, enjoying the holidays. what? you're not a couple? i better not catch you trying to have fun then!”, the constant music, excuse me, the constant SAME THREE SONGS REPEATED OVER AND OVER - ok, there's a *lot* of Christmas songs, i have fond memories of singing them as a child, and listening to the big stack of records we dug out every year - WHY must we be subjected to every pop singer in the last 50 years doing a rendition of "Rudolf the Red-Nosed Reindeer"?!? :mad: :omg: X| *sigh* But amidst all the greed and commercial filth, i get to see more of my family, eat lots of good food, and take a good long vacation. Life could be much, much worse... :)

I've learned to just go and buy one or two things at a time, starting in mid-November. That way I've got no stress, and can enjoy laughing at those who pressure themselves for no apparent reason. Except when I see the poor kids dragged all over town with their psychotic parents. I feel bad for them because they don't understand. You're right though, when all is said and done, and you're sitting by the tree with a nice cup of eggnog and belly full of good eats, you can look around at your family and smile knowing things are pretty damn good after all.

You need some new music, Shog! Try "The Pause of Mr. Claus" by Arlo Guthrie, and "A Christmas Carol" by Tom Lehrer. They'll lift your Christmas spirits! "How many times do I have to flush before you go away?" - Megan Forbes, on Management (12/5/2002)

I can relate to the depression caused by the holidays, the overcrowded shoppiing malls full of psychotic parents all trying to get the same item for their kids. Fortunately, neither myself nor my roommates have made much mention of Christmas this year and we watch very little television (South Park mostly [Lemmiwinks the hamster king!]) and don't listen to the radio in the house so we don't have to listen to the N'Sync featuring Rob Zombie and Yanni Christmas songs. We have ignored all signs of Christmas besides the decorated houses (ours is the only house on the block not decorated) and continued to do school work, play video games, listen to loud music, and party like crazy.
