Kind of a follow up from my question from a few days ago, for me just depresses me and usually I’m working or worried about stuff anyways so I don’t know how to enjoy festivities, plus being eternally alone without a partner makes things even sadder. Xmas is more of a post it of how much my life has failed.

    It’s half materialism and half cult ritual.

    Most of the music is annoying, with a strong exception to Transiberian Orchestra.

    The seasonal junk food is usually pretty good. The seasonal food-food is just a wanna be Thanksgiving, but still good.

    The lights can be pretty, but most of the other decorations look like cheesey tailor-trash shit.

    I’d give it a 20-80 like to dislike ratio

      Its so American to make your own-brand Christmas a month early then call Christmas food a knock off of that!
