Christmas isn't for everyone; for every holiday spirit spreader out there who is spreading Christmas cheer, there are at least thirty of us who would much rather that the whole thing went away. It's not that I don't like food or receiving presents, I'm even lucky enough to have a family that I enjoy being around, but years of working retail over the holidays have spoiled the whole dammed thing for me.

Years of crowding, intolerant, inconsiderate people clamoring for the best deal possible — bombarding myself and coworkers with untempered aggression in the name of "Christmas" will haunt my holiday dreams forever; all played back to the tune of the same 20 Christmas songs looping endlessly into the oblivion.

Christmas isn't for everyone — but these people are a little different from my despondent fellows and me; these people tried to get into the Christmas spirit but were ultimately unsuccessful.
