If you're anything like me, Christmas always comes way too early. Wreaths and Christmas decorations are out on display in all the big shopping centers. Your neighbors have reindeer on their white, twinkling lawn even though Thanksgiving is two weeks away. It can be a lot. Here are a few things that other "Christmas Grinches" can probably relate to.
1. That same Mariah Carey song
This song along with her entire holiday album has haunted many a scrooge. Some have even witnessed others listening to it in the summer *shudders*. The best line of defense is to steer clear of radio stations subject to christmas music takeover as well as headphones in any department store between mid-November up until Christmas Day.
2. Premature holiday decorations
I understand getting a cute little wreath for the house, but do you need to hang giant inflatable christmas ornaments from the trees in your yard? Really?
3. Having an empty bank account from spending money on gifts
The holiday season calls for obligatory gift-giving. While it's a nice way to show people you appreciate them, I normally only have $10 in my account.
4. Having the holidays overshadowed by the terror of finals
It's so hard to feel in the holiday spirit when you are faced with the impending doom that finals bring.
5. The holidays are really lonely for a lot of people
Some people don't particularly enjoy the holidays due to family stresses or other things. And having everyone remind you of the holiday season can be depressing.
6. That dumb pajama commercial
If you or your family has cable, you might have seen that stupid Pajamagram commercial. If you haven't, go watch that big ol' mess.
7. Hallmark Christmas movies
They suck. There, I said it. I can't give my time to watching Christmas themed sh*t films that all seem the same.
8. Resenting the holidays because it was hyped up too early
I never understood why people start counting down to Christmas as early as September. By the time it's appropriate to get in the holiday spirit, you are sick of the idea of Christmas.
