I haven't even touched on the relatives part For members of my

It's just that I can't believe Christmas is all it's cracked up to be.
For me, the decent aspects of this drawn-out holiday cannot erase
such mistakes as the fake niceties, the utter materialism or the
asinine commercials. I refuse to fool myself, but I don't condemn
