80. I hate the rampant and ugly commercialism of the holidays!
And trying to hold on to the essence of what the holidays are about is becoming more and more difficult every year because the message to buy! buy! buy! is so loud, pervasive, relentless and inescapable.

Whenever it all gets to be too much, I watch a couple of old holiday movies like Scrooge or It's a Wonderful Life. These movies put me in the holiday spirit in a way that no amount of shopping and buying will ever do. Sad that to enjoy the season, I must check out of it first.
