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 but I dislike that, at least in the UK, it's yet another excuse to drink until your last brain cell commits suicide. It wasn't enough that it was a repurposed pagan festivity, one that at least pushed people into thinking about God and being grateful by the Jesus proxy, which then turned into a Coca Cola, consumerist festivity, now it also has to be an excuse for alcoholism and debauchery? Tsk tsk.
