I H*&E Christmas....

Hate is such a strong word, but the closer it gets to Christmas, the more miserable I become. I hate the traffic, I hate the rude people (yes, I think they get ruder at this time of year), I hate having to spend my hard-earned money on stupid gifts for people I really don't want to give gifts to anyway, I hate all the extra junk flyers that come in the newspaper, I hate spending time with family members that I don't see all year, and really could care less about seeing, I hate sending out Christmas cards to people I never see or talk to, I hate those cheesy-looking giant blow-up balloon-thingys that people put in their front yards, I hate that I have to go to work the day before and the day after Christmas, I hate office Christmas parties and having to hang out for 4 hours with people I really don't like to hang out with when I work with them, I hate when I hear adults say "What Did You Get?".

I guess I need to visit your church and find out what will make me love Christmas! I just hope its not the same old cliche line that all the churches feed to the people this time of year.
