Why I Don't Like Christmas

Christmas. It’s the time of the year when people break out the Christmas lights and risk their lives hanging them on the roof. It’s the time when the radio states to play Christmas music right after Thanksgiving. I have a little secret. You should probably sit down because I’m about to tell you something that you’re most likely not going to like, I’m not a big fan of Christmas. I know. WHAT?! It’s insane. It was cool when I was growing up, but now, it’s not fun. It's annoying.

Christmas movies are very similar. (Especially the lovey dovey ones)

Two people meet, the fall in love, DRAMA, man tries to make things right, they get back together, the end. Is anyone else not loving this? Just me? Okay. I will admit, the actors are doing a very good job, but it’s been done.

Christmas music.

Different artists, different tune…same song redone over and over.

Christmas lights.

Have fun trying to get them down without falling.

Shopping.

My bank account isn’t happy with me.

Decorating

Bringing up those boxes, then bringing them back down, only to have them bring them back up in a couple of weeks.

Baking/Cooking

The dishes…all of the dishes.

Socializing

Let me make short and sweet for you. College is great, I love being home, my grades are fine, and no I don’t have a boyfriend.

Snow

Evil...

Stores starting early

What happened to Thanksgiving?

Mall "Santa"

Please tell me what the hell that smell is?

It’s not that I don’t like hanging out with my family or anything like that, but I just fell out of love with Christmas. When I was growing up, it was so fun. Putting up the tree, baking with my family, getting presents (because that’s all that young kids loved), shopping, seeing “Santa” at the mall, going around the neighborhood and seeing the lights, etc. But now, I just don’t love it the way I use to. Now I just find it annoying and tacky. Everything from Christmas music and movies to hanging up decorations, I just find it all tacky. Even having people I don’t like come over and I am forced to socialize. I just don’t understand why people love this holiday.

I can't say "thank you" enough to express how grateful I am for you coming into my life. You have made such a huge impact on my life. I would not be the person I am today without you and I know that you will keep inspiring me to become an even better version of myself.

Course registration at college can be a big hassle and is almost never talked about. Classes you want to take fill up before you get a chance to register. You might change your mind about a class you want to take and must struggle to find another class to fit in the same time period. You also have to make sure no classes clash by time. Like I said, it's a big hassle.

This semester, I was waitlisted for two classes. Most people in this situation, especially first years, freak out because they don't know what to do. Here is what you should do when this happens.

Is there really such a difference in Challah bread or Easter Bread?

Ever since I could remember, it was a treat to receive Easter Bread made by my grandmother. We would only have it once a year and the wait was excruciating. Now that my grandmother has gotten older, she has stopped baking a lot of her recipes that require a lot of hand usage--her traditional Italian baking means no machines. So for the past few years, I have missed enjoying my Easter Bread.
