For as long as I can remember, I've never been able to understand the hype around Christmas. Maybe it's because, for the majority of my life, I've lived in a place where snow is a definite improbability (especially now. Thanks, global warming). Maybe twenty years of Christmas classics killed my December joy. Maybe it's the hipster deep down inside of me, rebelling against everyone's favorite— our country's most commercialized holiday. From personal experience, here are six signs that your skin tone might have taken on a green hue because you're the Grinch.
1. You're the first to switch radio stations when Christmas music plays on the air.
December 25th would be too early for Christmas carols.
2. You mentally restrain yourself from enjoying the predictable, cheesy endings of holiday blockbusters.
This Christmas horror movie, Krampus, looks like the choice for me.
3. You've commented more than once on houses with the Christmas-themed laser light projectors and their striking similarities to severe cases of the measles.
Every lazy person's favorite holiday decoration.
4. You do not own a tacky Christmas sweater.
No, an equally-tacky Christmas vest is not considered "something nice to wear," either.
5. Out of all of your friends' houses, yours is the least decorated for the holidays.
Keep your stockings and tinsel far away from me.
6. You actively try to earn a spot on the "Naughty List" each year.
Curse Santa and his annual presents under the tree. I'm certain that, at this point, he's just doing it to spite me.
It's okay, fellow Grinches. Maybe they'll understand us next December.
