Kind of a follow up from my question from a few days ago, for me just depresses me and usually I’m working or worried about stuff anyways so I don’t know how to enjoy festivities, plus being eternally alone without a partner makes things even sadder. Xmas is more of a post it of how much my life has failed.

    It’s half materialism and half cult ritual.

    Most of the music is annoying, with a strong exception to Transiberian Orchestra.

    The seasonal junk food is usually pretty good. The seasonal food-food is just a wanna be Thanksgiving, but still good.

    The lights can be pretty, but most of the other decorations look like cheesey tailor-trash shit.

    I’d give it a 20-80 like to dislike ratio

      How can you not like Kaliki Kaliki waka is the thing to say? Seriously though, I’m not very interested in the new stuff, but Nat King Cole and Favorite Things is a time honored classic in our household.

      Its so American to make your own-brand Christmas a month early then call Christmas food a knock off of that!
