I hate watching television and listening to the radio during the holidays. Consumerism is lame, especially when people feel it is necessary to remove words from carols and replace them with: "Buy here and she will love you for ever!" Ha, whatever. I know the original words to that song and they talk of true love, not watches and diamonds. I don't want to sound like a Scrooge, but I really don't think that remembering Jesus' birth should be seasonal.On a lighter note, I'm having a good time here in Chicago. David, Sara, and I decided that since we were never allowed to open gifts during Christmas Eve as kids, we were now old enough to decide for ourselves. We opened one gift each. :) Maybe when I have my own family we will celebrate in October.
Merry Christmas, and make sure you don't over-do the eggnog.
