the holiday season

Between my recent cold and the unseasonably warm weather, I've been completely unaware of the approaching holiday season. None of the mass consumerism had even touched me and Christmas still seemed like a far off event. However, after veturing into the stores, I know that I was wrong. All of it has been here for weeks and until now I was blissfully immune.

As cynical and cold as this will sound, I am convinced that the holidays are best suited for children and those much more sentimental than I. Instead of getting excited about Thanksgiving and Christmas, I am looking forward to next year so that I can travel again. As soon as the new year starts, I have all of my vacation time back and I am ready to use it.
