Here are my two problems with Christmas:
-The timing. I go through all the trouble of traveling in shitty weather to see my family for Thanksgiving, then have to do it *again* just a month later! Can't they spread the holidays out a little more?
-The boredom. My family gets together on Christmas Eve. So on Christmas day, there's NOTHING TO DO!! Pretty much all stores are closed. Most of my friends are busy visiting with their families. I spent the day pacing through my mom's house, washing my car, going to the one convenience store that was open to get coffee, pacing some more, then finally meeting up with a friend and getting hammered. Then when everything returned to normal the following day, I was too hung over to enjoy it.
