Somehow I like christmas. And somehow I hate it. Do you know what I hate about it? It’s a burden to buy gifts. And why do you need to buy them? It’s because society tells you to do it.
Society says that Christmas is about love. But I’m probably not the only one who hates buying gifts. Still, it’s a part of Christmas. And it’s a way to show some love…
Society says that Christmas is about love. Yes, if you’re very glad you can make someone smile for a couple of minutes. But if your gift sucks the receiver will just feel ashamed. He hates the gift but doesn’t want to hurt you so he gotta pretend to like it. Maybe you will even notice that he’s not being completely honest with you. So you may feel ashamed as well.
Society says that Christmas is about love. But it’s also about pretending, about lying. You probably remember the lies you was told as a kid. Your parents presumably told you that there was some strange but friendly creature which flies around and presents you with the stuff you wished for. Someday you eventually found out about the lie. If you’re still believing in that crap, then this blog is not suited for you.
Lies for the sake of love. ‘Cause it’s Christmas! Don’t you love it? It’s Christmas, with all its beautiful little presents!
And with all its stupid trashy gifts. Things you hate. But you’re not allowed to show the hate. So yell out loud how glad you are! “Oh, that’s such a nice present! Thank you so much!” Bullshit. You don’t really want to say that. You rather want to cry because it’s so terribly bad. And what’s even worse is that you feel guilty when you finally decide to throw it away some days later.
Still society says that Christmas is about love…
How does donating money to a foster home help them?
