With winter break just around the corner, members of the adolescent society are all but shitting their pants in utter excitement. Crappy Christmas songs play quietly in the background of every shop and store placed in our tiny shithole of a town called Vernon, commercials about last minute Christmas gifts set parents on edge and twinkling lights and festive decorations hang from every tree and building across the country.
For most, the holidays represent happiness and family get- together's. Endless amounts of turkey, gifts to be given and received, snow, lights, sugar plums and all that other shit. For the Holiday Humbugs, Christmas is a tedious event filled with annoying songs, obnoxious decorations and bitter Christmas mornings usually spent alone.
For teenagers, however, the holidays mean something completely different. While parents are out buying santa's gifts, paper and bows, the members of the adolescent society are out with their friends smoking drugs, drinking alcohol and sleeping the days away in a warm bed. For the more callow and civilized group, the holidays are spent drinking coffee, dressing in proper winter attire and buying small gifts for each one of their friends. Although in most ways, the two groups are different, there is one thing they both have in common.
Sleep. The average teenager will probably spend more than half of the winter holidays sleeping, and not regret a single day of it. Why? Because this is what we do. School, work and the Social Scene are all tiring subjects, and will especially take a toll on those who deal with them every day. Winter break means no homework, no work and no bullshit whether it be between you and your friends or you and those people you hate.
Parents, don't complain about us being lazy fucks. Kids, don't waste your time wondering how we can stand to spend so much of our time doing nothing. It is what it is.
