Christmas moods; Warm feelings and the Grinch

Ok so I was in a more-than-normal good mood last post, which is why it's way too cheery and has some ideas that although I thought were ok at the time, upon reflection, are utter bullshit. Not saying I'm in a bad mood now, because I'm not. I'm in a normal mood. So my lack of excitement for Christmas isn't because of a bad mood. It's just in general, I'm not into the whole Christmas thing. I mean at times I can be, as seen in the previous post, but in general, I'm very meh about Christmas. Not to say I don't enjoy the presents, and overall feeling of christmas, but sometimes it's all way too much. It's weird, I have 2 opposite views on Christmas at the same time. I can see how great it can be, with just everyone being in a great mood, and seasons greetings and happy holidays and cookies and baking and presents and sharing time with family and all that. I truley do understand why Christmas can be such a great time. However, I can also be a scrooge and a grinch and all that, by seeing the bad side of it all. Christmas shopping is the worst, and to be honest, spending time with the family isn't all it's cracked up to be. Those constant christmas carols on the radio are extremely annoying, and the whole thing is so commercialized sometimes it's sickening. Christmas is such a controversal subject in my mind for a lot of reasons, some not listed here for, well, certain reasons :P. I mean, I do like being in the Christmas mood. I love the "warm feeling" and such, but I guess I'm just jaded.
