Great, we could sleep one hour more, but suddenly, it's getting dark at 18.

Great we have one hour more of sun on the morning, but instead of being pitch black when starting to commute to work it's just still dark and by the end of November it'll be pitch black anyway.

Winter? Nah. Love it for many of the reasons already being stated.

But the fake as fuck holiday season that comes with it? Done with it. I'm celebrating Festivus unironically this year. Done with the rest of that shit.

You ditch fake holidays and... replace them with another one?

Do you miss the part where it's an open rebuttal of the over commercialization of Christmas? Instead of wasting a bunch of time putting up decorations bought simply to fill some billionaires pockets, I'll put up a steel pole.

Also you're missing the Airing of Grievances as well. Thats integral. The family fight is gonna happen regardless, so might as well get some therapy out of it and bury the axes while you're at it. The Feats of Strength will get rid of whatever animosity is left too.

Oh, I'm sorry, did you grow up in a normal, functional family?
