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

    Deep down I’m still an edgy militant atheist, and really want nothing to do with religious celebrations

    Me too, but ironically though I agree with most of your other criticisms of Christmas, this one I actually consciously reject. I make a point of emphasising the fact that in the year 2025, Christmas is 99% a secular holiday that just happens to have a little religious backstory.
