Because the holidays don't only promote commercialism...

they promote loneliness too. I hate that celebrating Christmas as a single girl who isn't close to her family-except her sister-is bringing out sad feelings on this end due to the commercial joke that we call holiday time. If I see one more stupid jewelry commercial about diamond earrings and such, I am going to throw a shoe at my television.

I am a very positive and optimistic person and I hate making myself look like a needy, lonely sad girl-which I can assure you I am not. I think all the hub bub is getting to me and I'll be glad when January 1 comes around. Here's to new beginnings.

I do like this Christmas song, bittersweet and beautiful.
