Grrr...

I just drove into Kensington to deposit some checks but I can't get near any ATM of my bank because the parking lots --all of them-- are packed with holiday shoppers. I even had to do some non-intuitive driving contortions just to get home again because the intersections are nearly gridlocked with yet more shoppers.

Did I mention lately how much I truly loathe xmas?

It's not Christmas per se but the mindless and indiscriminate gift-giving, materialism, and resulting crush of shoppers.

There's a difference?

yup.

contrary to widely held belief and custom, gift giving (and attendand shopping) are not all there is to christmas.
