Outside is
getting colder and colder, malls get their green, red and gold decorations out
and Glee’s Christmas episode’s airing is expected soon: you know exactly where
I’m going with this.
Every year, it’s always the same
thing and Christmas after Christmas, at our age, we start to be a bit tired of
the same routine. Yes, it is a period of joy, but sometimes, it is hard to be
happy when the same issues come year after year. So here there are: my five
reasons why one should hate Christmas time.
1. Music
This bitch never gets tired of playing, does she?
Christmas music is the first sign of when public places go Santi Claws. The
problem here is that it’s ALWAYS the SAME songs, and new versions come out
every year (thanks Bieber). This year is worst than ever, because I work at a
music store, and I might develop a mental illness by the end of December. The only bearable new Christmas album is the
one by Michael Bublé. What? He’s Canadian! Ok, I may have a crush on him…
2. Last
minute shopping
Oscar Wilde once said, “Experience is simply the name
we give our mistakes.” Well, this quote doesn’t apply for people during
Christmas time. Most people always buy their Christmas presents a few days
before St. Nicholas makes his round. Chaos reigns in the stores. Everything is messy,
because people go crazy and they are all in a hurry. Learn from your mistakes
and stop procrastination before the big day.
3. The
same parties
Family parties are always the same thing. You say
hello to everyone, you talk to your cousins, depending on your family, you
might play games, you open the presents before or after eating, people get
drowsy, and they leave. I’ve been to the same family parties for the past 19
years. They are usually fun until you are 12. Past that, you get tired of the
same routine.
4. Boxing
day
Wow, what a waste of a day. People jump on top of
each other. Lines that never finish and parking lots with angry drivers: people!
The real deals happen during January! So stop fighting at Best Buys and stay in
bed on December 26.
5. Putting
on weight
Maybe you shouldn’t have taken another portion of
that good roast beef eh? People start complaining about their weight and they
always say, “Ok, I know my New Year’s resolution for the next year: I’m gonna
go to the gym and I’ll be super fit!” And then, they eat and eat until January
1 and subscribe to the gym. Simple solution: watch what you eat! Ask for
smaller portions, and go back if you want more. Hosts love it when you go back
for more.
Learn from your mistakes and this
Christmas might not be like the others. Have an awesome Holiday time!
