It better not be an iPod nano. If it is, pm me, (just in case she spots what you are posting here), and I'll tell you why.

Oh, and it's not financial reasons I hate Christmas. I just feel that

a) many are charitable at Christmas, but at no other time in the year
b) it brings out the worse in some, greed, fighting for presents for their children and shouting at others for not having enough when they should have shopped earlier
c) those who are on their own feel even worse when they see others surrounded by family and friends and many get suicidal
d) despite being an athiest, too many have forgotten the true meaning of Christmas, (even if it false), and sold out purely to commercial activities
e) if your family are too poor to get that years must have gift, going back to school in January knowing your friends all have one is tough of a child, I know because I had friends in this position and they almost always tried to avoid the subject, and despite never receiving that many gifts myself, (cynical parents too), I sometimes joined in with the joke
f) you feel the compulsion to eat too much, when you know fully well millions in the world starve every day

I know I sound righteous and like a killjoy, but they're the reasons I can't abide that time of year. It's nice to see the looks on the faces of very small children, but once they get beyond a certain age, a lot of them merely start thinking about their own needs, not others.
