Humbug

I dug into the word 'humbug' 
and recommend you do as well

abridged version: English slang from the 1750's  
the word Humbug refers to a person or item that tricks, deceives, talks, or behaves in a way that is deceptive, dishonest, false, or insincere, often a hoax or in jest
2013 Translation: Bullshit!

Which I found fitting as
Christmas is pissing me off this year

We're going to purchase a baby potted pine, decorate it for the season, nurture it during the winter, and plant it in the Spring.  

I see a house decked to the gills in lights and think about electricity
flashing colors that dim the stars

Christmas is making fudge with my mom,
drinking heavily with my grandfather, father & brother
heard my uncle is flying in this year
