Christmas is a time for extravagant expenses and just makes our economic situation worse. The only sensible opinions are those of America's realistic and disbelieving population, whose opinions are based on statistics and the real truth, instead of mythical creatures, and a hefty old man who can recuperate after tumbling down a chimney in milliseconds while keeping the domicile's residents completely inadvertent of his presence. Not everyone celebrates Christmas, and many despise it, especially the obnoxious, modern version where materialism and arrogance holds more importance to the celebrators.
Some traditions,though altered, are still withstanding, and most of them waste five minutes or more of your life that you can't get back.Among these are caroling, tree decorating, and midnight stocking-checks. In a recent survey, 63 percent of voters found Christmas carols to be the most significant nuisance of all. This has made a large impact and has caused several people to contemplate neglecting the doorbell on Christmas Eve when the neighbors are on the other side of the door, ready to serenade you with an off key song and a severe headache.
Carols were originally meant spread the cheer and are supposedly a way to ensure you don't find a lump of coal in your sparkling stocking. Singing carols with people from around the neighborhood creates an exuberant sense of togetherness and nostalgia. In addition to these momentary feelings of unity, seeing that spurious smile spread on someones face establishes that spurious smile. It is also enjoyable to pretend you are not cognizant of the annoyance that your songs melt away into smirks and perplexity. Caroling is a cherished part of the holiday season for most.
Pollution has affected the Earth from the beginning of the first civilization; there are numerous types of pollution. The most common types of pollution are air pollution and materialistic pollution, which both harm our planet in a drastic way, despite our various attempts to stop pollution. Materialistic pollution is basically pollution because of any object. Littering is similar to this type of pollution. Air pollution comes from the large factories and vehicles' exhaust. If you come to think of it, outsourcing transports air pollution to other countries. The next common type of pollution is sound pollution. Most sound pollution comes from mechanical objects, such as radios and televisions, but it also comes from - believe it or not- carols!
Carols not only produce noise pollution, but sudden increases of volume can hurt the fragile ears of the elderly. In fact, redundant carols can replay in your mind, and cause severe headaches . Furthermore, for those who don't celebrate Christmas, it's humiliating and just plain angering. Carols can be thee most intimidating part of the season and can ruin the holidays for everybody, either by spreading guilt, anger, annoyance, and of course, unworthy arrogance.
As this tradition is one that dates back several years, I am brought to admit that this tradition isn't that bad. The only awareness that only I seem to consider, is those who have difficulty hearing. But of course, maybe, being able to sing and laugh with family one last time is more important than obtaining adequate hearing. As for me, I am considering not slamming the door in the others' face but I'm sure that I will stop for a moment to hear not the words those carolers sing, but instead the immense joy and happiness they bring.
And maybe, just maybe, I'll join.
