My Christmas will be - lots of booze, probably pot, food everywhere. Of course with family, and before such activities my intermediate family is going to open presents - the nieces and nephews should be especially funny.
I would love to have a personal christmas though with a significant other. Sounds really nice.
Now if only Christmas music did not exist.

I hate Christmas music now because there is so little of it in comparison to the vast music library we have to choose from during the rest of the year. This might be expected, but not to the extent that you hear the same 12-16 annoyingly jingly songs over and over and fucking over for 8 hours a day or more depending on where you work...sometimes for 6 weeks out of the year.
They now make me want to vomit. Especially that goddamn "Christmas Shoes" song.

FWIW:
There are three, and only three Xmas songs I like:
Father Xmas, Give us your money by The Kinks
Gramma got run over by a reindeer by I have no bloody idea who
and
Spike Jones' All I want for Xmas is my 2 front teeth

The thing I hate is that Christmas season lasts the last about the last four months of the year. Stores put away the back-to-school stuff and bring out the Christmas stuff. Halloween just seems to be a temporary annoyance to the stores because they have to put the Halloween stuff out front for a few weeks, and once Nov. 1 comes around bring the Christmas stuff back out.
The thing I absolutely hate the most about the Christmas season is that the fucking Hallmark channel starts their nonstop Christmas shows probably some time in October, and doesn't stop until after Christmas. And they play the cheesiest, most inane goddamn stupid made-for-TV Christmas movies which are all just completely moronic and poorly acted. Normally I wouldn't give two shits about this but my wife insists upon watching whatever's on the Hallmark channel between Halloween and New Year's. I just want to tear my eyes out.

I think the song "Dear Santa" by Sean Morey really points out the disparity between spoiled kids here in the U.S. and children in other countries.

You got that right.
