Merry Christmas, I could care less.

Here are the things I love about this time of year: driving around to see all of the lights, singing Christmas carols, giving people gifts, wrapping presents, snow, being with my family, the feelings of warmth despite the cold, the candle-lit service at church, sleepovers with my sister, vacation from school, the beginning of a new year, spending time with friends, buying gifts for underprivileged children, buying Christmas trees, tree ornaments, candles, blankets, cute wrapping paper, warm sweaters, holiday decorations, seeing people in good spirits, ancient Christmas movies, Christmas dinner, Frosty the Snowman, knit scarves, and being at home.

Here are the things I hate about this time of year: I'm not with you, I'm not with you, I'm not with you, I'm not with you, I'm not with you, I'm not with you, I'm not with you, I'm not with you, I'm not with you, I'm not with you, I'm not with you, I'm not with you, I'm not with you, I'm not with you, I'm not with you, I'm not with you, I'm not with you, I'm not with you, I'm not with you, I'm not with you, I'm not with you, I'm not with you, I'm not with you, I'm not with you, I'm not with you, I'm not with you, I'm not with you, I'm not with you, I'm not with you, I'm not with you, I'm not with you, I'm not with you, I'm not with you, and I'm not with you.
