It's December.

Oh no. The year is ending. I have to shop for presents. I have to write cards. I have to plan to travel. I have to get all the stuff done by the end of the year that I haven't done. I have to... I haven't started anything! It's all rushing up on me!

I'M NOT READY! AAAAAAGGH!

Hey, ever notice something about Christmas movies and stories? There's this unique trend that doesn't happen for other holidays. Quite frequently, the story revolves around a "villain" who hates the holiday -- a Scrooge or a Grinch or what have you. Sometimes they go so far as to want to destroy Christmas in some way.

When I was a kid, they were just bad guys to me. But now... now I sympathize with those poor bastards. I really do.
