Christmas sucks. Here’s why.
As I get older, each Christmas is becoming less special than the one before. While everyone is opening their presents on Christmas morning, I watch them while at the same time wonder how long it’s gonna take to pay off that years holiday bills. I don’t see them tearing through wrapping paper around those gifts. I see dollar bills being ripped up. Heh. Am I just becoming more and more cynical as the years pass? Am I the only adult male that feels like this? Will this get better or worse as I age? Who knows...
The "suck" in this year’s Christmas season has been extra plentiful. Here are the "gifts" that Santa has brought to me so far this holiday season:
1. Back to back hurricanes.
2. $100 worth of gifts stolen from my fiancé’s vehicle.
3. Dog shit tracked onto the carpet and seat of my relatively new truck while we were doing charity work. Around this time every year a local radio station does a toy drive for needy kids in our community. Me, my fiancé and her daughter were delivering those toys to the kids when this happened.
4. Cosmetic damage to a brand new laptop. The damn thing wasn’t out of the box for 3 friggen days. We were using Microsoft Streets and Trips on the laptop to plan our toy delivery route.
Someone want to give me some cheese to go with this whine?
