Sometimes I feel like it would do me so good to actually read my old posts so I do not rehash myself. Then again, that might make me realize how incredibly boring I really am. So I will not do that. Anyway, it is the annoying holiday of the year, Giftmas. Ah yes Giftmas, that time of year that I am a part of because people guilt trip me into being a part of it. Something about family and all that jazz. Well regardless, I guess I am just going to have to deal with it. The false cheer, the false good tidings, all of that stuff.

You know it is kind of funny how incredibly fake giftmas really is these years. You know the same assholes who will condemn me for not being charitable will be right back in the same position as me come tomorrow. Ah yeah, that is the best part of giftmas. It is like every store, person, thing in general, decide that once the holiday is over it is time to stop being nice. You know the designated nice time is up.

I have never understood that part of giftmas. I mean at least with giftmas in the past people would keep the cheer until they were fighting their hangovers on New Years Day. When did we all go wrong with that? I have never understood how that happened. We all get to be merry and play around and do all that stuff. However, once you cross the December 25 threshold you are obsessive about giftmas. Well that is if you are not actively taking down any decorations you might have. That has to be the one thing that makes me laugh the most.

I wonder how that happened. Once the 25th has passed, you stop being giftmas like. No more decorations, plus you see the trees pile up in the many paper mills. I wonder how this all came to be? It is like you have to stop being giftmas like because the end of the party is coming up. god forbid that we have a little left over cheer or whatever for that. The party is a whole new time for everyone. You know that one last night that you take to make sure you are getting all the vices out of your system so you can set yourself up to fail in March.

Ah yeas the next favorite holiday, New Years. I think it is funny how for some reason we all have to bring in the new year with some kind of party. Well normal people do. Me, I generally sit at home and play video games and go home early. While I am gasped at two days later because I did not see the countdown. Then again, since I have a sibling who lives on the east coast now. Well that makes things a little more annoying because the new year over there comes two hours earlier. However, I digress, that is just how life is. At least I get an excuse to binge drink and be self-loathing a bit. That is really what everyone does, hate themselves while they wait for the new year of change to come in.

Oh well, now that I am out of the government contractor job I no longer get a holiday every month until April. No if I look at my corporate calendar. I get the next holiday in May. I wonder what that will be like? You know, doing the whole first six months of the year being forced to deal with the crap that was spent at the end of the year? Uhh well, at least it will be new. All these holidays were starting to annoy me anyway. All they are really good for is time off from work, nothing more. Oh well, only a couple days till I try and participate in the New Years Eve stuff. Lets see what happens with that. You know, when instead of staying home and paying $20 for a 12 pack of good beer. I spend over $240 for booze, hotel room, and ticket to get in. That will make me feel wonderful right?
