Fixed. The forum converts your post to all lowercase if you don't include any lowercase letters, so it mucked up the image code.

I hate every Xmas record period

I agree with that.

Christmas movies though? I've got my traditions.

I don't mind christmas music. Some of it is good. I've got at least 6 christmas albums on my shelves too. The only thing is that December 1st is a bit early for me. I'm gonna get tired of all that stuff if I don't wait until closer to the 24th. The first couple weeks are not really christmas to me.

That's a much better way of saying something that I was going to mention.

Also:-

Global warming? What global warming? Let's burn up those fossil fuels, fast and frivolous.

So, not a fan of Christmas myself, but I hope you enthusiasts enjoy yours.

One of the most difficult aspects of this time of year is having to hear "All I Want For Christmas Is You" after losing a loved one. I can understand how it can be a difficult time for some in many ways, and it really boils down to being just a distraction as the winter months come crashing in for a lot of people. I try to focus on the positives in life and reflect that back to others, and not waste my time dwelling on the negativity and ultra-consumerism that it's become, as it's very easy to get caught up in a downward spiral and ultimately let a depressive state take hold. There was a time when I was a homeless drug addict and living in a ghetto ready to just end it during this time of year, but through the kindness of others, they plucked me out of that hell and showed me compassion and the true meaning of the word giving, which is what it's all about. Giving freely to others doesn't even have to be something physical, and it also doesn't have to be compartmentalized into one section of time. Even just a little understanding and compassion can go a long way.

I love Christmas. A lot of the best moments of my life are associated with Christmas in one way or another. I started dating my wife around Christmas.

If anyone's interested, I make a new Christmas playlist every year on Spotify, and this one is my pride and joy. I'm very fond of the flow of the songs.
