Christmas Time

No matter what time of year it is, normal people wish it were Christmas time. It is not uncommon to hear a normal person say that he/she “can’t wait for Christmas time” during any non-December month.
Christmas time should not be confused with the actual season of winter or the holiday commemorating the birth of Jesus. Christmas time begins as soon as Target starts selling holiday decorations and is not about religion so much as it is about hot chocolate with candy canes and Charlie Brown specials on television. Normal people are elated by the sight of twinkle lights on houses and trees, until January 2 when this becomes tacky and repulsive. They also adore snow, but only in postcards and movies, because in real life it is slippery and demands shoveling. Christmas time is comforting to normal people because it reminds them of their childhoods “when everything was so simple,” and vacation, because they hate their work/ school.
