- Sexualized Santa ("o saw mommy kissing santa clause" and "Santa Baby" being two examples of such. C'mon ppl, is nothing sacred?)
- the spike in suicide rates
- the fact that tv shows go on hiatus just when I have ample time to watch them
- that most Christmas Carols have about five verses that we never hear and one that we hear so damned much that I wish one song was about the estate and gift tax code so that I would have at least part of the damned thing memorized. Y'know, like that They Might Be Giants song about James K. Polk. I know a lot about James K Polk and it's not because of American History class.

I'll add more in the upcoming weeks, but it is safe to assume that i like a lot about christmas.
