I love Christmas, it's by far my favorite holiday. But I also hate what it's become - I mean I was watching "gift ideas" on the Today show - "affordable" was over 100 dollars...for one gift..I don't think I spent that collectively on my entire family.
I hate the commercialization, I detest those stupid inflatable yard snowglobes...and I HATE the mania and greed and stuff people have already mentioned....
So I try to retreat into my own little world at Christmas - and it usually works ok...
