I've noticed that people openly groan about Christmas. "Oh no it's already here!" they'll say. Or "I haven't started my shopping," or "[groan] I have to put up my decorations soon".
People complain about how the stores are already decorating, and the stores put out advertisements saying how "busy" you are this holiday season and how stressful it is, so you should just buy their product.
Television commercials show stressed out people, awkward inlaws, terrible gifts. People complain about the corny Christmas music.
If this is all true, than why do we even celebrate Christmas?
The answer is that people actually like Christmas. It's cool to pretend that we don't, but we do. No one likes to admit this.
Even my co-worker was complaining about Christmas. Then I noticed through various comments that she liked Christmas. I confronted her. "You actually LOVE Christmas, don't you?"
"Yeah, I do..." she admitted.
