I don't hate the season as much as I hate that it been so commercialized. I put my energy into trying to make it enjoyable for my nieces and nephews. I can't stay in a "bah-humbug" frame of mind, since I have to play St. Nick at a couple of functions.
I try to emphasise the simpler joys of Christmas, like watching some of the older Xmas specials, visiting friends, and enjoying my relatives.
Then it's time for ice fishing!!!!
