Holidays are boring

Observation: Everyone looks forward to Christmas. Some have even began the countdown til next Christmas

But not me.... Because Christmas is boring.
Even if it is also my birthday

Here's why:
You spend so much time in anticipation. School is let out and you sit at home all day, shaking presents, watching TV, and reflecting on the big day to come. Sometimes it snows, and we have a white Christmas, which is only good in the romanticist thoughts of it. And then it arrives. All the wrapping is removed and we revel in the received gifts.

And then its over.
There are no more gifts to open, family leaves, and the left-overs are put away.
And the only thing left is a gaping void that cannot be filled by your new toys.

And so, Christmas is boring.
After the hour of opening gifts and the amazing lunchtime meal with family, there is nothing left to do.
Everything is closed and suddenly the excitement that exuded your house as gifts were unwrapped dissipates
and your house turns into a confined prison cell.
TV is monotonous. You can only watch Its a Wonderful Life and The Christmas Story so many times.
And there is some unwritten rule that the entirety of Christmas is family time, leaving the option of company unacceptable.

Call me a Grump, or a Scrooge, or whatever term you want,
but the fact remains that modern Christmas is as boring as watching the snow melt.
So, i wouldn't mind if the Grinch stole Christmas. It would only be a punishment.
In fact, I hope Santa gifts it to him.
Ho, Ho, Ho!
