Holiday beef

Who else has completely turned the page on Thanksgiving and begun their Holiday baking, shopping, and decorating? We are a few days into December now, which means Holiday obsessives are officially allowed to be insufferable without any criticism from the Grinches of the world who think it's too early to play “All I Want For Christmas Is You.” No matter where you fall on this spectrum, you definitely have a lot of feelings about all the hoopla that comes with this time of year.

Bah-humbug! This HOA member is getting coal in her stocking after spending an inordinate amount of time bothering someone who isn't even in her HOA. Up next, have a laugh at some of these bakery mistakes and messed-up cakes, like one person who shared what happened when “the bakery department tossed seven different types of unproofed dough into the composting bin overnight.”

This holiday season , make sure to read the reviews before you buy your loved ones presents on that sketchy website. You know the kind: they advertise a beautiful blanket for $5, or a brand-new bike for $10. The prices make you narrow your eyes and wonder what the catch is.

Leave me alone, Karen!

Christmas isn't for everyone; for every holiday spirit spreader out there who is spreading Christmas cheer, there are at least thirty of us who would much rather that the whole thing went away. It's not that I don't like food or receiving presents, I'm even lucky enough to have a family that I enjoy being around, but years of working retail over the holidays have spoiled the whole dammed thing for me.
