Christmas Season

Yesterday I cranked up the AC in my car. It seems like they are hording all the cold air up north.

For the past week I have been looking in vain for one of those classic Christmas movies that the TV stations usually play over and over. Where is The Grinch? A Christmas Story? Christmas Carol? This is the first time in a long time that I am not absolutely sick of Christmas music the week before Christmas. This holiday season seems both subdued and desperate. I almost feel bad when I hear familiar businesses beg and scream for my Christmas business. “FOR THE LOVE OF SHOES!...” I heard one advisement shriek over the radio just before I pushed mute. You can’t really blame them for trying to appeal to American’s materialistic appetite. Those poor suckers just want to make a buck like everyone else.

I am sorry guys, but my Christmas dollars are spent. Now I just want to relax and enjoy what I have.

About

I am currently an undergrad majoring in English Writing. I grew up in Florida and besides loving the Beach and surfing (though I confess I am not any good at it) I prefer the mountains. Besides creative writing, I am especially fond of any sort of art including photography and the fine arts.
