Bollocks to christmas I say. I haven't actually wanted anything for christmas for at least 7 years now (ever since I got my first job and finally had the money to buy the things I wanted), so my philosophy is "if I don't want anything from anyone, why should I bother buying anything for others?" I mean christmas is a stupid, overhyped compulsery holiday based on a bullshit religious event I don't even believe in anyway, so why should I be forced to go out and buy stupid shit for people "just because" it's the thing that everyone does?
It's like some worldwide peer pressure forced on us by society and I've had enough. People go out and spend stupid amounts of money on trees and decorations and shit tons of food and presents and fucking cards, whilst all the while we're bombarded by constant adverts and shit music and for what? To fuel a money making machine that corporations insist we all must partake in for no reason other than to make them rich. Fuck off!
Fortunately these days it's just me and my mum at home and even she can't be arsed with the decorations and the food and all that crap (though she's still sent a few cards and bought more than a few presents for about 10 different people). I've bought her a book and a single card. That's it, christmas shopping done, bollocks to the rest.
/Rant.
