Does this kind of sum it up? I get this feeling myself from time to time.
Holiday shopping is offensive and wasteful. You know Christmas "wish lists" can degrade the concept/spirit of giving. Christmas marketing is a scam, benefiting manufacturers, stores, and huge corporations, while driving individuals into debt. This annual consumer frenzy wreaks havoc on the environment, filling landfills with useless packaging and discarded gifts.
Unless your under 20 it can seem like stressmas, thats why Santa looks old and grey :santa: poor guy he's only 35, Lol.
I do love the smiles and excitement on the little ones faces, but I'll be glad when its over.
