It's christmas time. There are officially 4 days left until Christmas, which is a day that a lot of people consider to be one of the happiest occasions of the year. It's a time that I personally find myself in a much better mood as soon as snow hits the ground. I tend to let things slide easier, and just go with the flow. A notice a lot of people are this way as well.

However, i noticed, as I braved my way into the mall today that there are 2 very distinct and very different personalities that arise in this season: The joyous festive people, and the bitter, resentful assholes.

The first people, we've already touched upon. The people that are happy, festive, and easy going. The ones who don't mind if you cut in line, or say go ahead, take that parking spot. They tip extra, say hello and smile to you on your way by....we love these people, and I am happy to say I am one of them.

The other people however are thorns in my fucking side, and i can't stand looking at them. You know who i am talking about. The tense and over angry mother with 3 kids hanging off her...the kids that scream and yell at everything. The dude who just wants to get in and get out asap with no one talking to him, the "guy" that thinks shopping is gay and just wants to buy his wife a fucking toaster and get on with life...and then there are just those people that don't like christmas, so they take that out on the people that do. Seriously, fuck off already.

I don't really have much more to say than just lighten up. Even if you don't celebrate christmas, at least take the chance to be happy and festive with everyone else. And hey, that goes for the rest of the year too. Stop being an uptight asshole, and just go with it.

That is all.

PS - I read the best quote today, one that i have lived by most of my life, and never put it into words: "A gentleman should not dress well. He should dress with character. "

Merry Christmas! (not happy holidays)
