Don't get me wrong, I love Christmas time and this time of the year in general (Christmas, New Year's, MY BIRTHDAY, snow, etc.) but I can't help but get a little irked by the fact that we celebrate the idea that Baby Jesus was brought Frankincense and Muir by the Wise Men by indulging in gluttony, greed, and an overall false sense of cheerfulness that we somehow seem to abandon by the first week of January. Don't get me wrong, I spend way too much time and money selecting the perfect presents for everyone, and I stuff myself with all the food I possibly can handle on Thanksgiving and Christmas. I just wish this sense of joy and giving would carry over into January, February, March, April, May, June, July, August, September, and October. And I also can't help but get a little queasy seeing the stores capitalize on our "holiday cheer" by displaying and selling Christmas items well before Halloween. It's almost like seeing the school supplies on sell in early July. Hallmark has this country by the balls when it comes to Christmas, Valentine's Day, Mother's Day, Father's Day, etc. Just once, I'd like to see some people send a card to a veteran on Veteran's Day. Show some of that holiday cheer on a holiday where we're not given an excuse to shamelessly indulge in greed and gluttony by the sheer fact that it's a national holiday. I pretty much agree. Melanie and I were talking about this the other night. If we had less holidays that forced a bunch of scapegoat present giving days on us, people might be a bit more generous. Holidays seem to give people an excuse to buy something for somebody instead of when, if you really wanted to get somebody something, you just will. But I also like Danny's side. Eggnog, christmas lights, hanging out by fires, etc. It's all great for the season. But seriously, the best way to think about it is how Set It Straight puts it. "Every day’s a holiday to me, a celebration of life. And these few days I’ll cherish, and do my best to keep it alive."

By the way, a 30 pack of Busch Light would be considered a justifiable Christmas/birthday present for everyone's favorite messageboard moderator. Just sayin'. +20. To the whole thing.

I just want to say, how dare all of you who don't appreciate Christmas. Blasphemy. I didn't like it either until I met our good friend Danny. Spend a Christmas with him and you'll be a firm believer.

Has anyone heard Dustin Kensrue's new Christmas album? I got it last night but haven't listened to it yet.

Micheal Buble and Josh Groban Christmas music makes my soul hurt. That's my only issue with Christmas. Shitty music.
