The Truth About Me

Besides looming finals, this is the best time of the year. There's nothing like walkng down (enter location here) decked out in Christmas. Once again, the best kind of anticipation is upon us: the anticipation for Christmas.

Who agrees with me that the new and improved widescreen youtube is totally... AWESOME?

one of my all-time favorite Coca cola commercials: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=R1NnyE6DDnQ

so even though that commercial doesnt relate to Christmas, I've always associated Coca Cola with Christmas. Is it because Coca Cola has done so well in commercializing Christmas? And that I've been simply deluded like all of Coca Cola's other customers?

I know Christmas is all about the day Christ was born and all the love thats spread on this day. Don't get me wrong, im not belittling that at all. In fact im totally greatful. What a wonderful cause for celebration. But i have to admit im guilty of being one of those peopel who allow myself to be sucked in by all the holiday's extras. I secretly love all the materialistic aspects of Christmas too. Pretty malls, and shopping sprees, and Christmas lights and decorations, and food.....they all make me spazz spazz SPAZZ! I love it all...

I know. Im materialistic and i suck. What makes me so different than all those people who trampled over that poor man on black friday? When i heard about that, i thought "of course i would have stopped and saved him from the hordes of oncoming feet!" "im not THAT obsessed with ...STUFF" But the more i think about it....I dont think I'm so different from them afterall.

So sad. I guess we all have our weaknesses....and im working on mine.

i like that part too, though it helps to try and find symbolism?

Guess what Vendy?

I like pretty malls too. I like those shopping adventures too. I adore the Christmas decorations (Christmas Card lane!). I LOVE the food. I love it all.

I'm not sure if that's being materialistic...I think that as long as I hold dearest to me what Christmas is really about, I'll be fine. And plus, all those things about Christmas, the pretty lights and whatnot, really just add to the magical "feeling" of the holidays. -shrug- that's just me though. Let me know what you think (:
