I hate Christmas. It is supposed to be the time of the year when everyone is happy, but I just feel angry. The reason that I don't like Christmas is that you are supposed to be happy. The reason that Christmas bothers me is that you are supposed to shop. The stores are really crowded, and the clerks are overworked. , you have to listen to the same Christmas carols again and again. , I hate shopping any time of the year! problem with Christmas is the stress. Did you find just the right present for everyone? Did you remember to update your Christmas card list? Will Christmas dinner be perfect? The problem that I have with Christmas is that it's everwhere! Last year I went to Japan for Christmas and even there I hear the same music and saw the same pictures of Santa Claus. This year maybe I'll try Tahiti.
