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’m right with you, especially all the media centered on big loving family or sad loner stuff. I also resent how long it goes on and got annoyed at the "the best time of the year"song yesterday. It’s just all too much! No other holiday is like this.

    I also started sending Christmas cards this year thinking of them as messages of love. I like that and I like warmth and lights and love. It’s still way too long and too expensive.
