Ho Ho Ho

Christmas is coming so soon. I'm not going to lie - I don't really look forward to Christmas. I just feel empty and lonely around this time of year. When I was younger, I used to get so excited and feel fuzzy inside but now, not so much since every negative emotion seems to get amplified by the power of 10. I mean, it's nice to hang out with family and friends but I just... feel... empty. I don't really know how else to describe it. Plus, seeing everyone else being jolly doesn't really help. Then comes the New Year, which actually feels worse than Christmas. It's just another day. I don't understand why our society has turned to the idea of starting with a clean slate on this day. It's as if we're promoting that it's totally ok to be a complete idiot for just one night, because tomorrow we're going to become a fresh new person that we've always wanted to become, but have been unsuccessful in the past. In another words... fail.
