My 'Christmas' is in July


I don't like Christmas one bit, in fact that's the one day out of the year I allow myself to be a total Grinch. One day if/when I have a family, I hope there isn't a big emphasis on the holiday, I mean I don't see the harm in buying a few presents or whatever, and educating them why Christmas (along with other December holidays like Hanukkah and Kwanzaa) are celebrated. But if I have kids, in no way shape or form are they going to believe that stupid idiotic lie about the fat guy in the red. I came out fine..I mean sure some kids probably hated me in elementary school when I told them that Santa didn't exist. But I have a strong inkling that didn’t ruin their lives. If I did, then they have much bigger issues at hand.I'm not quite sure where my dislike for the Holiday lies, one think I can't stand about it is that its too commercial. And I really don't like Christmas muisc (except the sad ones "Little Christmas Tree"- Jackson 5, and "My Christmas Tree" - Diana Ross). I think the only good part about the day is seeing family members and eating good food. Um, I think that's why I think Thanksgiving rocks, all of the food, none that dreadful music.
My first and foremost favorite holiday shall be and always will be 4th of July. I LOVE fireworks. The sounds, colors, even the smell.. Even though its pretty equivalent to taking a dollar bill and lighting it on fire. Too bad this year I'll be in England. Maybe I'll stand outside of Buckingham Palace and scream the Start Spangled Banner, and yell at the guards (who really can't do anything) "HA HA PUNKS, 203 years of being free from you guys!!". The only problem I seen in that is that I'm not quite sure that being arrested internationally will look to good on my resume to dental schools. Definitely a total consideration though.
