Christmas Commercials

They're here !

I despise how they make me feel.

Every year, I hear them, before Thanksgiving, the day after Halloween, and I begin to want this "happy" holiday. Too bad it's the most stressful. It's become such a selfish holiday, which is ridiculous, considering why it's a holiday in the first place. 

I wish I were a little kid again.

I wish that I could still believe in Santa, still believe that Christmas was an innocent holiday where I just got gifts and got to laugh and be carefree.

Not anymore, though.

I'm supposed to worry about getting gifts for those thoughtful people who get them for me; say 

"Merry Christmas !" and pretend to mean it; I have to pretend like it's not the most stressful holiday of them all.

Over-crowded malls, maxed-out credit cards, relatives and plane tickets, expensive gifts.

Is it all really worth it ?

Back to the Christmas commercials themselves.

They make me feel like I should feel all of this joy and happiness about it.

It makes me want Christmas, but I know that when it gets here, it's gonna suck because it won't be fun, anymore.

I do love watching little kids on Christmas or at the mall, around Christmas.

They're so innocent and adorable.

I know that most adults only "celebrate" Christmas for their children's happiness, which is messed up as well, but I'd do it. 

We live in such a messed up world.
