[Lil Brother]

Pros:
-A short break from school.
-Presents. I'm a greedy little thing.
-Anticipation.
-Decorations.
-TV specials! I saw the Garfield one a couple nights ago. I miss that show.

Cons:
-Family.
-Finals. ...which I should be studying for...
-Christmas morning itself. Let's not wake up at seven in the damn morning, kay?
-People doing a small amount of charity work or donating just to feel better about themselves. As if there isn't anything charitable to do during the other eleven months.
-People complaining about the commercialism of Christmas. Screw that, the commercialism is the best part.
-The holiday season always makes me incredibly depressed for some reason or another. You can bet on me having a mini-mental breakdown in a couple weeks.
-Exactly what purpose is there in lying to children to make them think a folklore figure is real?

 

[Silverwynde]

Pros:
-A day off from work
-Buying swag for Prime
-Getting cool swag

Cons:
-Rude and cranky customers who think it's your fault that your store is out of the hottest toy for Christmas.
-Rude and cranky shoppers.
-The overplayed and overdone Christmas music. You can only hear so many versions of "Silent Night" before you want to scream.
-Kids visiting Santa and having a complete meltdown. (If your kids can't handle seeing Santa, don't take them please.)
-Rude and cranky drivers who try to run you down just so they can get to the next Wal-Mart.
-Christmas shopping for people you barely know and don't give you a decent list.

-doing those gift angels things, where you get an unknown child's list from a family, and you buy them a gift for Christmas ( I love doing those. I really get a good feeling from doing that)


Con:
-wrapping gifts (I'm not the best wrapper)
-not being able to find everything everyone wants for a gift
