fellow psycho babblers, please help!
in general i do not like the whole christmas season. no one quite knows the reason. i'm pretty sure it's not because my shoes are too tight, though my heart might be a few sizes too small. :)
i have noticed a horrifying trend - early decorations! a department store near me started putting up these awful RED ARTIFICIAL christmas trees. unfortunately, i walk by said display EVERY FREAKIN DAY. no choice, it's by the exit of a public transit station i frequent.
is my only alternative to avoid commercial radio and tv, and to walk blindfolded out of transit stations until two weeks before christmas, when i grudgingly accept merriment? what do you do when faced with garish and forced holiday displays assaulting your sensibilities on a daily basis for months on end? and no i do not want to help plan the office christmas party already, but i don't know how to say no! argh! help!
sincerely,
the grinch
