I hate Christmas!

I know Christmas is suppose to be a time of loving and giving and all that. But I'm having none of that crap. I freaking hate Christmas. And you know why?!

Because Christmas is the time when I'm expected to buy freaking presents for people! That's why!!

I'm by no means a Scrooge. In fact, I consider myself pretty generous when it comes to my friends and people I care about. (Case in point, I always buy an extra cup of high calcium horlicks for Weak. All the time! How's that for friendship, and sucking up to the boss?!)

So, I have absolutely no qualms about buying gifts. But it's the thought of having to think of things to buy for the many people who are my friends, in a limited period of time, that puts me off. I hate it that the festive season places upon me the burdensome obligation of having to buy gifts for my friend, because it's a self declared season of "giving and sharing and loving", and specifying that the gifts that I give them, have to be wrapped up with pretty ribbons and given to them on no less than 25 December itself!

Why can't I buy presents for my friends at other times of the year? Why can't I just put the gift in a newspaper and give it to them? Why must my present be bought at a shopping mall, and why can't I just give my friends hugs and kisses?

So, for those of you out there, know this for a fact: you're not getting any beautifully wrapped-up present from me on the 25th December. Period. And no whining about it.

You may just get a hug and a kiss from me on the Christmas Eve, or on boxing Day though, when I'm high and happy on drugs and booze. (Won't that be nice??)
