For those that can’t stand this time of the year, my misery seeks company. What does it for you?

For me: aside from the usual family stuff:

I worked front-end in a post office back when that meant a line-up before I opened the doors to the end of the day when I had to inform the line-up that was still out the door that, yes, I was going to close on time. (Some didn’t take that well. For me it was just another Tuesday…)

It meant a lot of work with little thanks and I had to listen to the same shitty Xmas playlist over and over all day.

Edit/PS: The quick downvote sells it. Perfection. chefs kiss

    I don’t necessarily hate Christmas but I truly don’t like all the forced obligations that come with it.

    • Forced to socialize with people you barely see or hear from.
    • Forced to be present, socializing and fake laughing at Christmas events (work, family and acquaintances).
    • There’s always one person that thinks the whole universe is about them.
    • When you are silent, there’s apparently something wrong. You must have fun at Christmas events!

    Personally, not really fond of socializing to be honest. I’m an introvert, it’s fine to socialize for an hour but an entire day of forced socializing is a disaster. Don’t like it.

    Could write a day about this but, I suppose this sums it up.
