Yeah, you guys are reading way too much into my post.
Just talking about effort and reward. I just don't find holiday decor and lights moves my mood meter. That's all. It does for most, and that's fine. Just seems like a lot of effort and money.
Putting on a wig takes about 3 seconds. No ladders. No fire hazards. No effort.
And driving hours to see someone you care about or to vacation seem a helluva lot more rewarding than looking at lights.
But that's just me.
It wasn't a 'bah, humbug' post. I sincerely just don't get it. The major holidays are roughly spaced out a month apart, during the months you can't go outside to play. I guess their motive to distract the masses works.
Shrug.
