On that subject (the last part, mainly), some woman came to the gas station I work at and bought so much beer that she had to use the cart I use to take trash out to bring it all to her car. The total cost was $115, I overheard the cashier.

I'm still not sure what to make of this.

Oh, and Pockets, you don't need to hit enter after every line here.

I personally think that is sad. That's just me. Who needs that much beer?

Christmas should be a time that brings families together except not everyone likes their family and quite often (and this comes from personal experience) things don't always end well.

I don't want to force anyone to enjoy Christmas. You shouldn't have to.

However, I don't appreciate people that don't like Christmas making their dislike so well known to the rest of us. Just becasue you can't have a good time doesn't mean you have to bring everyone down to your level.

i think it's the opposite of that. just because you're having a good time doesnt mean you have to bring everyone up to your level who does not believe in the holiday.

THAT should be something everyone should keep in mind. not everyone shares the same religion, or celebrate the same things, so dont force your beliefs down ppl's throats. not, bringing others down, but bringing others up when they dont wanna be up. i dont think anyone intentionally bring others down, but i know for a damn fact that others intentionally bring others into their celebration even though they know not everyone celebrates it.

fair enough.... but just because other people don't believe what I do doesn't mean I'm not allowed to be happy about and enjoy Christmas. I'm free to do so. And yes others are free to be unhappy about it, but I just don't see the point.

*huggles the Pockets*

I've always noticed two things that happen frequently around this time of year: massive fights and death. Case in point, Pockets's relationship/my family arguments as well as at least two people I know dying in the past week.

Okay, until I just read Pocket's post, I must have had no idea how bad it was.

Perhaps people do go a bit too far on christmas...though I personally have not encountered something like this for a very long time, if ever.

So, I concede, christmas needs to calm down, a lot.
