Christmas

              Christmas has a different meaning to everyone. To some it means getting to spend time with family you wouldn't normally see, celebrating some religious meaning that I can't think of, or getting tons of shit that you normally would not be able to get any other time of the year. That happens to be my case, though it wasn't always like that. Christmas eve was always more of a holiday to me than actual Christmas. I stay down my grandmothers house a few days before and we have a Christmas party on Christmas eve and open the gifts and such from them then I go home to my undecorated house and fuck with all the shit I got until I feel tired enough to fall asleep. I've done this since I was a kid and it honestly wouldn't feel like changing it at all, even if all the "magic" wore off.
               As a kid you look at things in a different way, you don't see the realities, you only see what people want you to. I'm not exactly sure where the excitement comes from as a kid knowing that a fat bum ass stranger comes into your house while your sleeping, eats your food, leaves gifts under the tree and then leaves. Its pretty fucking scary now that I think about. I actually have a very similar situation with one of my friends. We were supposed to go pick him up but I stopped at my house first and walked into my bedroom to get a jacket. To my surprise, my fat black friend that we were on our way to pick up was on his hands and knees hiding behind my couch making goat noises and scared the shit out of me as soon as I walked it. He never left me any presents but I still found it amusing. Anyways, people have really grown away from the morals of christmas. 
                It used to be about friends and family but now its more about how much money you can get everyone to shove out on you so you can have a bunch of things you will forget about by the time next year rolls around. I'm not saying everyone does this but I would say at least 80% of households are like this, me included. I still enjoy spending time with the small amount of family that shows up but its not really my main priority. If we get 2 weeks off school and bunch of expensive shit then I'm not exactly sure why I'm complaining. 22 days to go. Revency out.
