I will be alone for Christmas too.


What I hate about Christmas it the maniacal commercialization for it, that starts right around Thanksgiving.


How effed up it is to me, that people have turned a religious holiday into a commercialization bonanza.


Imagine my duress as a 24 year old when I went on a Chinese radio show the year that I lived in China, where I had to explain what Christmas is to the Chinese radio listeners. My British co-host was snickering and the two Chinese cohosts shook their heads and raised their eyebrows, because they had to translate what I said in English to Mandarin. It was like listening to two speeding trains collide into each other at top speed. A total trainwreck.


How do you explain the connection of Santa and reindeer (the commercialization) to the birth of Jesus (the religious holiday). It was a worse nightmare than giving a speech while naked. I still have the cassette tape of that radio show episode and it's hysterically funny to listen to.


Being alone at Christmas sucks when you associate your feelings of self-worth to the maniacal (there's that word again) way retailers have commercialized a religious holiday. Christmas - it's a season for spending! Your traditional values have morphed into showing what someone means to you based on what type of gift you give someone at Christmas. So dumb!!


Here's a list of great anti-Christmas carols (some are hilarious, some are tawdry, some are spot on!) Enjoy! And effe Christmas!
