updating... christmas is an odd holiday.  i despise a lot of things about christmas... it is just a consumerist holiday  ya know.  buy buy buy, spend spend spend..... it would be perfect if people just randomly got eachother stuff throughout the year and gave it to eachother... unfortunately that would probably not work.   and see if you wanna get outta this whole cycle what do you do?  people enjoy giving you stuff and they will keep doing it... so then you just seem selfish for not getting anyone else anything....  sigh..... all the consumerism makes me sad... i realize how dissappointed so many kids are going to be on xmas... and how much tension and everything this holiday causes when it is just so supposed to give us a way to be generous to eachother.....
