I always dread it. I see it as just another day, but my family sees it as some kind of big deal where we all have to get together and crap. The worst part is that for two months beforehand I'm not allowed to buy anything at all for myself (I still live with my parents because college is expensive). This inevitably leads to me running out of games to play except for TF2, then when I finally get two months' worth of games at once I suffer for over stimulation. And since my birthday is in October the cycle immediately repeats itself for Christmas.
