What do you HATE about the holidays?

[redshirt27se]

I hate a lot about this time of the year.

here's a quick rundown of what pisses me off.


#1. It always happens.. running into "friends" who you aren't really friends with. This happens all the time, and I have to rehash the same old bullshit and answer the "nice to see man.. so what are you doing, whats going on in life.." BS. Fuck that. If you were my friend we'd never be making small talk asking about 'what i'm doing', you'd already fucking know.

#2. Traffic.

#3. Snow and cleaning off my car. Also shitty driving.

#4. Christmas Music. It fucking sucks. I've heard the same Bing Crosby songs every year since I was born.. atleast put out something new.

#5. Being broke. I actually like gift giving, but that shit takes a toll on my checkbook.

#6. Shopping/Crowds. I hate shopping, even for myself. Throw in massive crowds and I wanna kill someone.

how superficial it is
but the good things are, I get to see my family and when I am working, 11 days off vacation. Northing to dislike about that.

right

i like seeing my family because i live far enough away that i don't seem them often

there's just far too much BS that goes on during the 'holidays'

There is BS in my family as well, but we only get together like this once a yr and I'm very grateful for my family. I do dislike the tension b/c my sister is in town for a whole week, but I like her for the first 12 hrs anyway ;-)

i wasnt referring to family BS


just the random BS that occurs outside of it.. i don't see my family enough to really have problems.

I dont really have a problem at all about the holidays except for maybe i'm a little more busy as usual trying to get around to see everyone in a matter of a few days.

I dont really HATE anything about the holidays. I like the crowds .

Since I get a little wierd about food any time of year, much less the holidays, all the parties can be a little stressful, but I just pop some diretics and hope for the best and eat as little as possible without passing anything really good up.

Traffic for me too... seems to bring out stupid drivers as well. Also, this year I hate it that I don't get to spend it with my family.

1) I find the materialism sickening, it's a glut.

2) The reiteration of the happy times of family get-togethers when anyone who has ever actually GONE to a family gathering knows that it ALWAYS ends up with at least one person drunk, several other people FURIOUS with each other and no less than one adult crying.

3) People who have NO business in a car will decide, under the most CATASTROPHIC weather conditions, that they simply MUST go to the mall RIGHT NOW.

4) The more serious you are about wanting the holidays to turn out really well, the worse the outcome will be.

5) You miss people who have died 100% more.

all of the above especially the driving....so much anxiety going on, it seems like everyone is on the edge. I dont know why but this year doesnt really feel like xmas to me.

 

[cindylou]

Well, I know that my family gets along. We may not ALWAYS get along, but I have nothing but great Christmas memories with my family.

My husband's side of the family I couldnt possibly love any more ....and I actually have almost a better time with his side than mine!

And the gift giving is really the GIVING part.

I'm so excited about giving my (hopefully soon to be brother in law) this stupid beer pong sign that I got on ebay. Its a dumb gift I know, but I know he will like it and I cant wait to give it to him!! That part is really fun, and what I look forward to during the holidays.....
