It's that time of year again. The days where everyone is happy, people are giving to the poor, stores scam you out of everything you own, and children scream like retarded banshees to force their parents to buy a toy for them that they'll only use for 5 minutes and forget about it.
I like christmas, with the lights and trees... and presents. It's all the extra stuff I hate.
The Music: They're only the same ten songs sung by different people in different ways. Doesn't anyone know the meaning of "Originality"? Now, I know there are a few people who actually do make their own, but that's just a few.
Also, they take over the best stations. I don't want to hear Stevie Nicks singing white christmas on heavy metal stations. GIVE ME MY IRON MAIDEN \m/
The movies: Unrealistic much? And cliche. Generally, they go along these lines:
Someone meets a person who's having a tough time in life, and tries to help them by marrying them.
There are others, but I forget.
The stores: As I said in the preamble:

However, in case you haven't noticed, Halloween was stripped of its religion a long time ago. Only in Mexico where they do La Dia De Los Muertos is "Halloween" anything like it's supposed to be.
Example:
The past: A day of mourning for deceased friends and family, dressing as scary beings such as witches to scare away bad spirits.
Today: Dress as Tinkerbell/Power Rangers and get candy.

Secret Santas with people you don't know in the slightest. You can't get them anything good or meaningful, since you barely know them. You usually have a set budget, so you can;t get them anything really good anyway. So the only thing you can do is buy a gift card or a cheap gift they'll probably never use. It depresses me.
