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 haven’t considered Christmas to be religious in 30 years or so. To me, it’s just a time to take off work and exchange presents. Since my parents died, I don’t even have to go visit anyone. My son and I take little trip in lieu of a Christmas dinner. He likes Christmas traditions (secular) but he gets that through his other grandparents.
