Christmas is a time of mixed emotions for me. I don't like the
consumerism involved, although I readily participate in it. I keep going
back, wondering if I've bought enough. What troubles me most is
that-the weakness. What do I do it for? Am I trying to buy love? I know
better than that. Am I duped by the ads, the commercials, the sales
gimmicks, the discount hype? I know too much psychology to fall for all
of that. Still, I go back, right to the end, sometimes just hours before
we open our presents, looking for that one last item, that one special
something that will bring happiness to the receiver, the one that will
put me in a good light. It all is ridiculous, I know it, but I continue
to do it. That's what I don't like about Christmas-the contradictions.
