Christmas itself is okay, I guess, but I hate the music. So simplistic and cloying, and they start hitting you with it right after halloween. That's one sixth of the year hearing this awful noise. Peace on earth indeed. The advertising is nauseating, too. Then there's all the sugar, hard to resist, bad for the health. Then there's all the waste...streets lined with dead trees, all the useless wrapping paper...these are traditions that need to go. Bah, RR
