Christmas Spirit... More like a Department Stores need to sell stuff...

It's that time again at the end of the year. Christmas. I think it's a fundamental fact that Christmas has become something much larger than a holiday festive cheer. Indeed, there are probably people out there working for big companies who do nothing for the whole year except plan how their Christmas is going to be better than everyone elses.

The idealogy of Christmas is that everyone can relax with their family, watch each others holiday videos (And usually die while doing so) and basically have fun. Tis' the season of giving, but I've noticed a trend over the years as my maturity increases and the world descends further into chaos.

Westfield Shopping center had it's Christmas decorations already up two months before the festive season. How fantabulous. Not only that, but all the advertisements you see on TV are talking about how THEIR store has the best Christmas bargains and how THEY are the ones to buy from. (Heck, while their at it, why not put in some slander about other shops?)

Then the Christmas wars begin. Department stores hire out santa lookalikes to sit in a chair all day and listen to kids drone on and on about what they want for Christmas. Then their eyes break after the millions of flash enchanced photos that are taken of them and said children. But behind all this joy and happiness, its a total underground war.

To put it metaphorically, or in a way you might find it easier to understand, try to imagine hundreds of santas each shooting at each other with chocolate egg grenades, candycane missiles, poisoned eggnog tipped darts and present bombs. The war is massive. Only in reality, its the big department in legal battles over whether or not Christmas wrapping should be legal (If at all controlled)

I've always enjoyed Christmas. I know one or two (Or five) people whom dont enjoy it, but that doesnt stop me from sending them a present filled with lots of good stuff. Typically, they open it BEFORE christmas day, but who cares? It's all one big happy time.

If you really want some fun, spike the eggnog, give it to your uncle, have a camera on hand and watch and record the ensuing chaos. Alternatively do something ORIGINAL for Christmas. Maybe make a sleigh, attach it to the top of a car, and go for a rally around town. First person to the highway wins, assuming they havent been cut into two by overhanging electrical wires.

Or, get a bunch of nerf guns and wage a real war. Going to the park? Bah, go to a stadium.

If your gonna do something for Christmas, do something original. Maybe dress up as an UNDEAD mall santa. That would be original. Sure, you'd scare the kids, but maybe that would stop them from asking for a LCD TV, a playstation 3, an Xbox 360, a Nintento Wii, a new Windows 7 computer (Apple SUX) as well as a bountiful amount of chocolate.

Enjoy your Christmas, don't get drunk, stay indoors, don't watch holiday videos and most of all: VOUCHERS ARE THE WORST CHRISTMAS PRESENTS OF ALL TIME.

P.S: I said 'Christmas' 13 times. Including this time.

Happy holidays everyone. =)
