personal disclaimer: its november and december, awesome, I am all for celebrating the holidays with family and being in good spirits. Mostly trying to keeping most of the bah humbug attitude to myself or keeping busy so that it doesn't come out. HOWEVER its the feeling of what is has become now that is my issue.
That with each year christmas stuff in stores is put out earlier and earlier like thanksgiving doesn't exist. i went looking for thanksgiving scrap booking stuff and it was two weeks before thanksgiving and it was either gone or already marked down and shoved in the back corner and i thought WTF (same with most stores)
That people go apeshit and make themselves miserable over black friday. no thanks I don't feel like dying for this inanimate object that is great and possibly makes life better or daily stuff better (some toy or kitchen thing) but I'm not getting up at the arse crack of dawn or whenever to stand out in the cold and get sick and then battle off other psycho's for this. NOR have to see the poor employees who I commend for surviving this have to deal with your pathetic attitude either
The whole general public attitude of how I gotta buy this shit cause it would be an awesome gift for me, or (insert important person here) and so on. and then bitch at the employee for whatever reason such as it should be cheaper or you aren't perfectly satisfied or they looked at you wrong and go on your merry way as if everything is spiffy and you never said a harsh word. See any excuse and EW can get they will molest to their advantage.
Or the general craze of there are so many shopping days left until christmas. SO? If you can that shit taken care of at the beginning of november via lay away or I dunno when there were actual SALES and not this psuedo-sale for the holidays thing going on which in some places is actually a mark up (when compared with actual price, quantity of product versus how much i need or will use etc) This is not against people who cannot do such due to whatever financial reason or such options are not available as its understood not everyone can do that. I did it because I really did not want to deal with such insanity and I chose to become a hermit because of what happened around this time of year to me.
I feel that I saw this coming. I feel that even before the economy isssue down (not going into that just the whole mess of it) happened that november and december would become this massive commercialism menagerie charade etc to just go crazy with commercials on tv and ads and everything to sell out for the holidays and push products that either aren't that great or because we need money. And have people gripe about bills that they knew would come or that its ok to overspend and go further in debt because I as a consumer cannot manage myself or have self control etc.
Every january is another gripe about omg look at this bill. well what did you think would happen the new year would whisk it away like its nonresistant. Riiiight. not even getting into new years resolutions
This in no way excuses my poor attitude towards this mind you. I became sour to this time of the year due to seeing family take these actions and become EW's and SC's and worse over something for themselves or because they NEEDED it for someone when that someone really didn't care or would be just as happy with something hand made. (hell give me socks, I WILL use them and enjoy it and send thank you notes because i like having clothes)
Because of what has happened in the past 6-8 years during this time. The year of the no christmas, the year that my biological father's family proved themselves rich assholes and should all DIAF, the year that we were reminded that even thought granny loved us we were not worthy of ever contacting her. and then the year i lost my child and wanted to literally rip out my innards. and everyone around me each time was telling me i should celebrate and be merry because its christmas. if that were so easy to do then i would have done so
Now. allow me to politely remind those reading, yes thanksgiving is great, so is christmas its the holidays please be merry but please don't tell me about your shopping spree just tell me when the family is meeting and that you will go and see them or at least call or something. Or that if nothing else the best of the situation was made.

), will complain about not having brought their coupons and can't we just give them the discount anyway, will demand that we cut their fabric at the register because they "don't want to wait in that long line!" And the fabric store will probably be mild compared to stores like VoldeMart and Bullseye.
