the holiday hype

winter - the merriest time of the year, right? not for all of us. for some of us the winter is the worst time of year. it may bring back bad memories and loved ones we lost or the cold may be all the reason we need to dislike it. i am one vote for the hating of cold weather. i do not like it, i dont like the crowded malls, long lines, and i definitely do not like spending money on everyone and anyone i can think of. worst of all i hate the tension it brings among everyone. seeing the family members that i see every other day of the week and seeing the family members i see once a year. i could go without ALL of it.
