The Holidays

I hate the holidays. I think that the media has beaten it into our heads from a young age that you are pathetic if you don't get/give the perfect gifts. That's not what it's all supposed to be about. It's about spending time with loved ones, praying for peace, doing good by your fellow humans. Makes me sound like a complete liberal, doesn't it? I am a complete liberal. I'm so liberal I almost want anarchy. I guess at the core of things I think that people need to be responsible for their own actions and words. Too many people anymore have to blame the government, blame the immigrants, blame anyone but themselves for whatever they have done. Bullshit. Be accountable for YOU. It's ok to explain your actions but don't try and justify your actions because of some outside source. Am I wrong?
