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

    The constant bombastic music is absolutely terrible. Jingle jingle jingle jazzy jazzy BELLS BELLS BELLS BELLS DING DANG DONG And remember, if you complain, it means you don’t want any presents this year!!

    Also it’s MERRY CHRISTMAS not HAPPY HOLIDAYS even though there’s advent, christmastide, St John’s Day, St. Nicholas Day, all those funny South American holidays, all Christian holidays celebrated at this time that are not Christmas. But JESUS is the reason for the season.
