What I Hate About Christmas?

And so this is Christmas...

The time to pretend to be happy even if not.

You better not pout, or else Santa won't give you give.

You should join your Christmas party or be an outcast.

The time for compulsory Kris Kringle, minimum of Php 500

Groups will come to the house and sing carols, in exchange of... (envelopes, you know what it means..?)

I just don't know why we limit ourselves in viewing Christmas as a time for shopping, gift giving, donations, sponsorships, decorations, feasts, gathering, parties, and etc.

Why not face the world as what it is on Christmas Day. Forget what the media is saying that Christmas should be like this and like that. It gives one a certain kind of frustration,which we often disregard.

So what if your sad during Christmas? So what if you're alone in your room? As long as you remember the essential of Christmas, the birth of Jesus Christ, that is if you claim Him to be your savior, Christmas will still be Christmas.

What I hate about Christmas? It's idealism gives people frustrations.
