Reply #33: I can't wait for Christmas to be over, honestly

[Kievan Rus]

This time of year is nothing but commercialism. Hell, I've even heard songs on the radio (and they're actual songs released by recording studios and sold on CD albums and at the iTunes music store, not parodies by radio stations) that abandon all pretense and basically go on and on about great greed and consumerism at Christmas is. Not to mention that traffic outside any shopping area resembles traffic seen in Manhattan at rush hour, TV commercials advertising Christmas that now come so early as to air during broadcasts of MLB baseball games, having to see ignorant Teabagger relatives, and wingnuts going on and on about "the war on Christmas."

Most wonderful time of the year? Yeah right.
