Eyyy Christmas and whatnot

I mean really, I do not like Christmas songs, carols aren't so bad but the songs, like Snoopy's Christmas or whatever? I haate that song. And most of the others. I mean, "Mary's boychild"? Boychild? Really now. I think It's fairly obvious that he is not a manchild. Tsk.
Anyway, I tend to not get very hyperexcited about Christmas at all, and to be quite honest, Christmas is not Christmas WITHOUT A CHRISTMAS TREE.
And by Christmas tree, I mean a REAL ONE.
Not those pathetic artificial things. THE SMELL. THE PINE NEEDLES YOU HAVE TO VACUUM OFF THE FLOOR! THE IMPOSSIBLE TASK OF GETTING DECORATIONS ON THE BRANCHES!!!
IT'S GREAT!
Seriously, I mean yeah artificial ones are okay particularly if you want a small tree or it is too much bother, but. But. Memory is triggered by smell the strongest and whatnot, and so the smell is pretty much the best thing and when I consider Christmas to be Christmas. (As you have probably gathered, we got a tree today.)
Aaaand I dunno, I guess you could say that I do not really care about the presents as much as I am looking forward to the anticipation of opening them and all the excitement? Hahahaah I sound like a five year old. And the presents are just the things you put in there, and you make them things you want so that it is better, but it is the whole opening of them and whatnot that is great. Or maybe I am just trying to justify commercialism. Is that the right word? Hahahah. Well yeah I love the presents but it is like, these days you cannot say that because otherwise you are not being a special and unique snowflake for pointing out how commercialised Christmas has become, how it is just about ads, "we'll call it Christmas when the adverts begin" OOOOOOH yeah. Well you know, the presents are still part of it. Just saying! =P Not trying to sound shallow, just trying to say that the whole not thinking about the whole religious side, the presents and whatnot is still part of it and is still good, it brings families together and.... yeah. I am rambling now aren't I.

*shuffles papers*
that concludes my ramble for the day. I am in a much better mood now, I shall go try tackle super mario again. (That game is HARD!)
