It's almost over...

Call me scrooge if you want but I'll tell you..I don't really care for the holidays.

As a child and a young man I thought they were great. The family, the friends and the gifts I loved all of it. It's in adulthood that I began to loose the taste for Christmas. I think allot of it is the commercialism. No wait that's most of it. X-mas is a business theses days. Companies do their best the last quarter of the year to get into your wallet. The crazy sales and 4 A.M. openings are crazy. I absolutely HATE black Friday. I think it's terrible. The only thing I look forward to is seeing how many Walmart trampling took place that day. Which just goes to show you how bad people are to one another to save a buck. Like this year there was a shooting in front of a Toys r us somewhere. The Only good thing was that both people killed each other...two less assholes on the street for next year, right? Okay that might be a bit harsh but damn, violence at a toys r us? What the hell.

There is a slight renewed interest however since the birth of my son. He's still too young to really know whats going on but i look forward to those good years where he gets excited and I see how much happiness I can bring him. I'm still cynical about the rest of what Christmas entails.

Well, I'll just keep my fingers crossed for the next 48 hours or so. I'm going to do my best to keep out of trouble. Until next time my friends....
