Holidays

You know this year I haven't really been feeling the holiday spirit much. I mean it doesn't help the fact that really I feel this Holiday, like most, are just a farce so that Christianity could take over the other "Pagan" religions. But even then usually I would feel the spirit of giving just for the sake of making others feel good. This year I'm just so, I don't know, blah about the whole thing.

I guess it's more that I used to have a lot of people I gave gifts to before and now with family further away and friends further away I just don't. In fact I think that's more the case. That and the fact that working in retial during the holidays has an adverse effect on liking holidays. All they seem to be are corporate "buy me shit" days. I mean I did come from Cincinnati where they created a holiday just so they could sell more greeting cards (thanks American Greetings).

I'm sure once it gets closer to the day I will feel more "in the spirit" so to speak but right now I don't really care much. Maybe I just feel I really don't want to be stressed out about it this year either. I have had too much stress already last month that I just don't want to deal with it this month anymore so by way of doing it I am just relaxing rather than freaking out about the holiday.

I'm sure things will change but for now, Blah.
