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

    It’s just a celebration of winter solstice. My family is as atheist as the day is long, but we still enjoy the trappings of Christmas.

      I think that was the origins of it and can be celebrated that way.

      However, I feel it has most certainly been hijacked by religion and capitalism since then in certain parts of the world.

      I enjoy it due to having time off, so I’ll take that :P
