well it's definitely that time of the year when everywhere you look there's an advertisement trying to sell you something to make someone you know/care about happy. now i don't really want to sound like a scrooge, but i don't really care too much for this time of year. well, let me rephrase that; i don't like this time of the year that all the stores have created. it'll probably be easier to just make a list of the likes and dislikes of this time of year.
likes:
-the food (why can't it be made at other times throughout the year???)
-spending time with people i care about
-people are slightly nicer (but also see dislikes)
-people watching; people trying to carry more bags than they should is kinda funny, not to mention the crazy serious shoppers are too (altho they're also kinda scary)
-hot chocolate with marshmallows (and kahlua :-P)
dislikes:
-how you have to buy someone a gift to show you care, and according to the stores, the more expensive the purchase, the more you care (hence people getting trampled on Black Friday). similarly, that if you don't get a lot of gifts then nobody supposedly cares about you.
-that it's the season for benevolence; why can't people be benevolent throughout the year? or why do people want you to give more at this time of the year than at any other?
-houses that look like you can see them from space due to the xmas lights (especially when they've been up since october)
anyways, i'm sure there's probably more things i could list, but for now i'm sure you can see what my likes and dislikes tend to be. the dislikes being those associated with physical objects or material items, and the likes dealing with things that inanimate/immaterial/etc.
