And this is why... I did not want to celebrate Christmas
I have never seen so much greed, malicious intent, and anger on a holiday that is originally supposed to be celebration of our lord and savior (Atheist brehs, fall back). I hate reading articles like this, because it makes you ill that folks would rather kill and fight over material, than love and appreciate the little things. I had to yank my son by the collar one Christmas because his spoiled ass was acting an entire donkey about gifts. I mean, the dude had everything that year and even more.
Anywho, my wife usually gets me a sausage kit (this year she switches it up and got me a Koala glasses holder which I felt like ole boy with the BB Gun) and he goes "another sausage kit...really?"
The record scratch and I almost blacked out on his ass, but my wife and I calmed down and told him what's real. Yes, its a sausage kit, but it meant so much to me beyond anything in the world, because it was the first gift my wife got me during our struggles with the first year of marriage.
As time progress, that sausage kit turn to different variations of candy, cheese, and etc. I still managed to indulged and appreciate the value of that kit because it gave me hope for the holidays. As, I lost that feeling in 2002 with my parents divorced and the gifts being just soulless.
Of course, a child doesn't see such things until reality hits, especially during the time of us being in various hotels. To that given day, I try to keep my head up and see the value of Christmas despite how cold the world is.
Now, a woman became a statistic, a child will lack a moving, and two demons are going to modern day slavery aka the prison system over some fukking gifts that will lack value within a few weeks.
