capitalism and the holidays

[wakeboarder]

I REALLY HATE THE CAPITALISM AND COMMERCIALISM THAT SURROUNDS THE HOLIDAYS!!!! sorry for yelling. but I'm about sick of it all. its gotten to the point that i don't even want to participate. I'm about to tell everyone to not to worry about getting me a gift, as purchasing gifts as gifts this time of year is just playing into big business' plans. im not against commercialism, just the brain washing that its "that time of the year to spend all your money on other people because its the holidays" why the f*** cant we just be giving throughout the year? why does it have to be the holidays to be nice? I'm sick and tired of all the bullshit. i don't like my brothers gf. she is a bitch. but i have to be nice because its "the holidays" i want to just stay home..........:mad:

sorry for the rant. what are your takes on it?
