After all...

Oh it’s Christmas, my favorite time of the year. Yes, people have to start admitting it, you all like it. It’s the best time of the year because you get to share your love and appreciation for other people with gifts and friends and family gatherings. Even people who hate this time of year shouldn’t because even if you were a big &%&&$%% for most part of the year you will probably get some kind of a gift even if it’s just a card, somebody’s going to be thinking of you. It’s very different to Valentine’s Day since you don’t have to have a loved one next to you to enjoy Christmas. So if during Valentine’s Day you happen to be between relationships then give yourself some flowers because nobody else wants them (Mom’s don’t count, that’s simply your duty). Also during Valentine’s Day you might not really want to walk around telling people “Happy Valentine’s Day’, that’s just not well accepted. But during Christmas, ah, you can say it as much as you want to as many people as you want, it’s all part of the Christmas spirit. There are wonderful games such as Secret Santa that let you share presents with someone who doesn’t know who they’re getting the present from. So you might end up sharing your present with someone you’re not really crazy about but Christmas has allowed you to give that person a chance and share a nice moment together, isn’t that nice? This season also allows you to use your intelligence in different situations. During your gift giving through the holidays you might have to be a little technical and use the concepts of Game Theory to maximize the experience as well as your budget given the times we’re living right now. But regardless, I just love this time of year, it just brings out the best in all. But there a few grouchy ones out there that simply say that this is just another trap to make consumers spend money in things they don’t need making life even more superficial and our society even more shallow, right? To all of you I say stop being such an &%&&$%% and go out and make some friends, it will be worth your while... after all, it’s Christmas. MERRY CHRISTMAS TO ALL!!!
