Today's Horoscope

All signs:
The stars notice that some people don't seem to like the holiday season. They gripe about everything, from commercialism, annoyance at Christmas songs, decorations being put out too early, you name it.
Although some of their points could be justified, ultimately some people just like to complain. The world has made them cynical, or they may have developed some misanthropic tendencies, or maybe they just like busting people's chops. Maybe they are just afraid to be happy because it hasn't worked out well for them in the past.
Don't let those people ruin your fun. The stars always preach about how much good there is in the world, and that's true, but we seem to get that good doled out to us on a very infrequent basis. So if one of those good things for you is the holidays, enjoy it to the fullest.
Play your songs and decorate your home and wear some ugly sweater. Be as sappy and dorky as you like watching Christmas specials from your youth. Celebrate your religious traditions, or buy too much consumer goods, the choice is yours. No one has the right to make you feel bad about it.
Also, keep in mind that often those people that like to be all “bah, humbug” about the holidays sometimes have underlying reasons. Maybe they are alone for the holidays. Maybe they have unpleasant memories about them. Maybe they just got old and forgot how to have fun. So give them a break too. People didn't even give up on Scrooge, and he found his Christmas spirit before it was too late. There are no ghosts coming to save them, so maybe a little kindness and sympathy on your part might make a difference.
The holidays are supposed to be about peace and love and goodwill and all that, so remember to keep that part of it in sight, too. The stars want you to enjoy this holiday time, because life is short and you don't get too many chances where the whole world is trying to be merry. You're foolish if you waste it.
