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 decided long ago that Christmas and birthdays just wasn’t for me. Easy enough when I live alone.

    I don’t decorate, don’t eat anything out of the ordinary, don’t dress up. It’s just a normal day, that passes without much ado. Hate is too strong a word, I just ignore it.

      Same here. Xmas, birthday, new year : all just ordinary days for me. Back when my mom was still alive I visited her for Xmas (and many other times) to make her feel better, but other than that I’ve not celebrated it for decades, and my mom died half a decade ago.

      This pretty much sums it up for me, I don’t specifically hate Christmas but I don’t celebrate it.

      I do loathe winter as a whole though. Weather is shit, the lack of day light hours, and just general miserable nature of this time of year can fuck off.
