Every year right around this time millions of Americans catch a disease that few are immune to. It causes confusion, high blood pressure, and in some cases blindness. No, I'm not talking about glaucoma or diabetes. I'm referring to something even worse and more horrifying. This is contributed to by the materialism that has unfortunately taken over the holiday season.
Shoppers become confused trying to decide on the perfect gift.
Some shoppers even become blind from seeing dollar signs, and fail to see the true meaning of Christmas. From the time we're finished eating our Thanksgiving turkey, every blue-blooded American is susceptible to Christmas schizophrenia. Extensive studies have shown that the only way to prevent this, is to lock yourself in a small secluded room with no contact with the outside world for 1.5 months or until the holiday season is over. Materialism has completely transformed the holiday spirit. The effect is most prominent in children.
