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.

Are there any holidays or celebratory rituals you do like?

    Well it also has its advantages. People are on vacation and in general it's less busy so that's an advantage.

    Anything where I can just be. There's no fixed time for that.

    The "less busy" thing varies by location.

    Where I live easter is a real shit show. We're just over-run with people visiting from out of town. I always thought it would be a daft time to go visit the city or something but... turns out everyone has left the city to come visit my town.
