I've been to Rutledge`s.

Yes, people. Its T H A T time of the year again. Christmas.
Effing Christmas...
It's starting to get on my nerves now.

Let me explain:
As stated before, I work for the Post. This means I hand out post to people.
It's an ok job. Not too much thinking, don't really need an education, good pay and benefits. Plus I get exercise and fresh air.
I started working for them in July. Which meant I worked there for 5 weeks from Monday till Saturday getting to know the job.
Thing is, the Post actually gets 60% of its income from Elkjøp, Komplett, Ikea and other companies to hand out commercial.
So, one sunny July afternoon I started on handing out the post after delivering a shitload of packages.
Remember, this is in July. And I'm handing out post and commercial.
Christmas-commercial.
In July.
Commercial for Christmas-related products in July.
July.
Christmas-july in Commercial.

Yeah, I know. A typo. But that shit really wringes your mind, doesnt it?
So I snapped pretty hard.

That's one of the few reasons why I really detest Christmas.

Another reason is that Christmas is a Christian holiday which turned sour at one point.
From celebrating the birth of a Saviour to being a totally capitalistic money-making machine.
Off course, many people still considers Christmas as what it is but for many its just a holiday with little or nothing moral, religious meaning at all.
The one thing I like about Christmas is the food, but that's getting too boring. I mean, what kinda resturaunt cooks Christmas-dinner in bloody October?
I might as well be celebrating Rahmadan. Less fuss...

Well, 60 Minutes is on.

Promise a new post before Christmas Eve.
