Parents+ The Holidays

When you were young your parents lied to you. They told you that The holiday season was the best time of the year. They told you that Santa was real. That christmas is a time to visit you family. They tell you that Thanksgiving is when a whole bunch of Native Americans and pilgrims sat around a table and became friends. But in actuality: santa isn't real, the only reason you like Christmas is because you want toys, and the real reason thanksgiving was started is because settlers hated the native americans so they just killed them all. But of course you don't know all of that.... well except you love the presents. As you get older you get educated and learn that many people become anorexic from the fear of over eating. There is a high suicide rate during the holidays too. But we don't think about that and get mad that our parents did prepare us for that we smile... Why because they were just wanting us to have a good childhood. So I'm some ways the holidays are a horrific time of year and then sometimes if you are lucky you enjoy them. And of corse the presents are good to.
