I just discovered why I hate holidays so much, besides the fact we take them out of context and commercialize them. It's because we set ourselves up for this big change or whatever, and we fall right back to where we started.
Think birthdays, like a Sweet-Sixteen or something like that, you set the girl up as being so grown up and tell her how her life has just moved up a notch and all this crap. But after the sleepover and the sugar-highs and chick-flicks, life goes right back to the way it was before the party. All that expectation, all that hype, excitement, etc, it's just an emotional spike that falls right back to where you are, or sometimes lower. So why bother?

That's so... depressing. But probably a little true. Still, you can't say that everyone commercializes holidays.
I like holidays cause I get candy... :P Kidding.
