I hate to sound like the Grinch, but there are reasons why we’re going to talk about not-so-pleasant things related to the Christmas celebrations. There’s no guarantee that these reasons are good. First, it seems that most would discuss what they love about Christmas, so maybe a change of perspective won’t hurt. Second, this is for fun. Since you’re invited to share what you hate about Christmas (please use the comment section below), you can’t really complain, can you? Here goes . . .
Traffic. For some strange reason, traffic gets worse in and around Metro Manila as Christmas day nears. Last minute Christmas shopping? Christmas parties? People burning fossil fuel to generate heat and beat the cool Christmas air? Tell us if there are other reasons that might be more strange that we thought.
Weight gain. Christmas is an excuse to splurge — big time — on chocolates and all the goodies you’ve always wanted all year round. And, again, for some strange reason, people actually give you these yummy treats as presents. It’s like they’re wishing you to get fat, so they won’t be alone in the process.
Christmas is for children. Everybody grows up, unless your name happens to be Peter Pan, so there’s not reason to limit Christmas for kids. Besides, nobody said that Christmas is SOLELY, absolutely only, for the kids. I certainly didn’t receive that memo. So, just because I’ve grown up doesn’t mean you don’t have to give me gifts.
People who hate Christmas. Just kidding. Go ahead and share what you hate about Christmas. Please use the comment section below.
