3 Things I Hate About the Holidays

 The holiday season has come upon us. Some of us like it others hate certain aspects of it. So I thought I would write about what I hate about the holiday season. Now I know what you're thinking, I'm a Scrooge. Well Honestly I am not one. So here is what I hate about the Holidays.

1. The Salvation Army bell ringers. Now I hate them because of the noise they bring about during the holidays. They cause a ton of noise pollution and annoy the hell out of people who work outside of big box stores. I also refuse to donate to them because they are anti gay.
2. Christmas Music. I know I reviewed a Christmas EP earlier. That is the only exception because Christina Perri is an artist that I support and did a good job on it. Now I hate Christmas Music because the day after Halloween, stores start playing Christmas Music nonstop. When you work in a store you cannot escape it. You're sick of hearing it after one hour of it.
3. Fragrance Commercials. These pollute the airwaves during the holiday season to the point that you want to shoot your TV. Enough Said.

I Hate Fragrance Commercials

  It's that time of year again when our TVs get bombarded with fragrance commercials. Why do I hate them, well to be honest even though they are seasonal, they show more fragrance ads in a commercial block than they do show ads for Sleepy's, Progressive, Geico, and any other car insurance company. I don't get the silence that the actors and actresses have in fragrance ads. Why are they silent for 98% of the commercial until at the very end say the name of the fragrance? To be honest, I can't actually give you the answer on that one. If I knew it I would give it to you in a heartbeat. Why do fragrance companies think that perfumes and colognes will make good holiday gifts? It's probably to give your boyfriend/girlfriend a last minute gift when you were either too busy working or too lazy to go shopping for their holiday gift.
  These commercials are so stupid to the point of ad nauseum that you want to get a gun and shoot your plasma TV. I mean I could get a nosebleed from seeing all of these pesky fragrance commercials. You see so many of these darn ads to the point that you want to hide in the fetal position in a corner somewhere in your house and suck your thumb until the holiday rush is over. Seeing fragrance commercials left and right during the holiday season is just one of the many pains of the holiday season.
  However there are some positive commercials that you only get to see around the holiday season, ads for the Clapper, Chia Pet, and the CLR log. We all look forward to seeing that old lady at the end of the Clapper commercial because it is so funny. I don't know why people are attracted to the old lady in the Clapper commercial, I can tell you that I am one of her fans.
