Christmas Quirks

Why do we store Christmas decorations for 11 whole months?
-- And then throw them up as quickly as possible on the coldest day of the year :0)
If no one likes fruitcake...why do we make it?
-- And why don't we make Easter cookies or Christmas baskets?
Why do we feel so much pressure to get everyone gifts
 -- Even if we don't know what to get (and everyone already has too much clutter anyway)?
Why do we cram the season full of all sorts of activities...
-- And then complain it is too busy.
Maybe these are just our ways of demonstrating that Christmas is the best time of the year!
