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
Organized religion is a plague.
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
