SPEND SPEND SPEND. Hoopla everywhere. Spoiled brats who get Blackberrys instead of the Ipod Touch they asked for. I truly believe Christmas has gotten out of hand, I used to love it, now it's just another pain in my ass. Also the fact that we're not allowed to say "Merry Christmas" in many places now. WTF? Anyone who has a problem with it should then work the holidays for regular pay, like people who take vacation for Xmas work throughout other cultural holidays. Just an opinion. And I guess that's 2 things;] +3.

The list could go on and on.. Hell, I could write an entire book of reasons it sucks!
