Not everyone loves Christmas. Some of us dread the holiday season altogether. While Thanksgiving is usually alright, starting right afterwards comes that big holiday whirlwind that can feel like a tornado to some of us. Christmas songs are everywhere, stores are pushing their wares, children start working on their lists for Santa, co-workers talk about their Christmas plans. There's no escape from it all. You don't want to be the bah-humbug Scrooge type so you try to get into the spirit the best you can. Of course you wait until the last minute to try and accomplish everything you want to do and usually fail to do most, if any, of it. You want everyone you love to enjoy the day so you try to squeeze in time for each one. Thing is, what you'd really like most for Christmas is to hide away in your room until New Year's has passed. It might just be winter in general but it really feels like Christmas is the worst.
