Working retail for many years has come to make me loathe this time of year. It’s all a reminder of greed and consumerism. Stores start playing Christmas music early af to “get people in the holiday spirit” or in other words get people in the buying spirit. Same with the holiday ads. All businesses LOVE 4th quarter cause they make so much, while the average Christmas shopper goes into debt for the holiday.

I only celebrate it because it’s a tradition in my family and it excites my 7 yr old. If it weren’t for them, I’d ignore the whole ordeal as much as possible…in my own home that is. But I don’t go all out by no means.
