I love the Christmas air. All the marriment, decking the halls, the fa la la la la, and of course the mistletoe. There's something about Christmas that feels good. It could be because it's one of the few times a year people are thinking about doing good things for others instead of just themselves. I've also been listening to my Christmas CD's for about a month or so now.
The commercialism has definetly gotten to be too much, as many of you have posted, but in retropect, it's commercialized BECAUSE we consume. Furby, Tickle-Me-Elmo, Tamagatchi, and all the other toys that are the "must haves" are only so because we will them to be.
