Holidays.
So, the holidays are here. Already got a few twinges of humbug when I started to hear the Christmas songs. I don't want the ghost of christmas past up ringing the doorbell or anything but that christmas music drives me insane. Especially the one that goes "it's the Most wonderful Time of the YEAR....blah de blooo"
See, I don't agree with that at all. The most wonderful time of the year [as far as I'm concerned] is late July/Early August when it's 85 degrees outside, there are no holidays to speak of and I'm spending my weekends sitting on a beach or riding my bike.
Not December when I'm freezing my ass while I stress out about getting the perfect presents, getting Christmas cards out on time and finishing all of my work before the Holiday rush.
Yeah, I know--bah humbug. It's about the giving and making people happy. Which I do enjoy. It's just the walmart-busymall-singsong-consumerism I can do without.

Have kids and your mindset will change. I believe it's the best time of the year, because you see sheer joy your kid's eyes at the prospect of Christmas. Kid's don't have to worry about the "perfect" gift or fighting the crowds at malls and listening to the maddening repetition of Christmas musak.
Believe it or not, I actually caught myself looking for Christmas music on the radio the other day. This probably has to do with my iPod. Since I listen to my iPod in the car, I never hear any seasonal music that ALL radio stations inevitably play at this time of year...
