25. That kind of thing doesn't bother me at all.

Some people really love the Christmas season, so I wish them all the joy they can get from it.

I used to love it too. My family is gone now, so it's just a blip on my radar screen. I'll probably still make a nice dinner for friends, buy some small gifts.

This Christmas will be a difficult one for me because my mother's last Christmas was last year. But seeing merchandise in store is the absolute last thing that bothers me. The very last.

Truly cannot imagine getting in a state of anger just because of Christmas trees. Boggles my mind.
