Christmas isn't dead. It gives me an excuse to go shopping every other day. And the weather gets cold so that's awesome. Also, the music is warming and the food is great. You get to be with your family and all that jazz. Not to mention, it reminds me of when I was a kid, which is a very fun time to look back on.
But god damn I hate Texas. Where the hell is my snow? And the one year it snowed here ON Christmas (two years ago I think), I was in the desert in Utah. It was the biggest slap in the face ever and proved that this state hates me almost as much as I hate it.
But anyway, Christmas is awesome and I love it. It's only dead if you let it die yourself.
Even though I totally like Halloween better.
