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
Cat died on christmas.
But also christmas music and consumerism and religion and insincerity and various intersections thereof. And my phone automatically capitalizes christmas no matter how many times I tell it to not do that.
I can like christmas, but I experience an adverse reaction to “Christmas”. Call me a kinglephobe idc
The unrelenting mandatory consumerism just sucks all the joy out of today. I’ve been stressed all month about this and can’t even enjoy it until it’s over.
