The holidays have become dominated by retailers who feed into our culture of never having enough. Xmas crap was in the stores before Thanksgiving day. And why the hell do we need one day a year to buy things we can't afford when we already have too much? What happened to simplicity and working hard for your money? Furthermore, I will put it out there that some recipients of the welfare system truly do deserve it but we as a society have catered to those who feel entitled and make poor decisions that we absorb. Why? Why do so many kids need help during the Xmas season? I'm not talking about the ones who rightfully receive it and need it. It's sad. Sad that we do it to ourselves.
Perhaps I'm loosing my mind but the western society took a turn somewhere and got greedy. I'm still young and have a lot of life to live but how the hell am I going to do it. Nothing makes sense. Some people just don't give a crap as they drive aggressively, cut in line etc and I have to believe they don't give a s@$#.
I hate this time of year because trying to plan a day to get together for Xmas is near impossible without getting the short end of the stick. Never have my family ever catered to my family's schedule. Yes, I have spoken up but there's always an excuse for someone. I've been married for 16 years and both my brother and sister are now divorced yet everyone caters to the new boyfriend/girlfriend. Am I crazy to be annoyed? So it's looking like yet again I'm making two separate trips to the same place, 4 hours on the road so it's convenient for everyone else. I'm highly thinking of staying home and spending time with my family. Yes I'm grateful for having extended family but I'm not sure of when they all became self centered and selfish.
And everything else that goes on in my life added to that.
