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 don’t hate Christmas, but it’s a holiday that relies on tradition and I derive no joy from traditions. The whole “we’re doing this because it’s been done every previous year of our life” schtick just rubs me wrong. I recognise that for some people there is comfort in tradition. For me however it feels more like indoctrination.
