1. The fights begin about where you are going to spend the holidays: yours, his or ours?
2. Dreading the details on figuring what gifts to get everyone
3. The packed mall parking lots
4. The packed malls
5. Rude shoppers
6. The 2-hour line for Santa pictures
7. Inattentive customer service
8. 5 am shopping trips to WalMart and the mall to avoid the crowds and traffic
9. Dreading taking out and putting up decorations
10. Dreading having to spend the holidays with yours and/or his
11. Dreading having to pack three kids and their stuff to travel to yours
12. Dreading having to pull the kids away from their fun to go see relatives they see only once a year at either of the two major holidays
13. Dreading taking down and putting up decorations

Yep, it's the holidays..the most wonderful time of the year. And it sounds like you share my sentiment.
Barf.

I must be sick, I love the malls, and having the holidays at my house. My wife could strangle me I think.
I'm going into hibernation, too! LOL
Thanks for joining in - and congrats - you've been selected as one of the featured blogs for the next week at the Hub! Enjoy!
Congratulations on being one of the featured blogs this week for TT!
I can't wait until Christmas is here, but I'm so relieved when it's all over!
Happy TT!
The one thing I miss from living in the big city is 24 hour shopping. Perfect for the insomniac Christmas shopper. Nothing like getting all of your shopping done at 3am.
The holidays can really be very taxing but I'm sure you'll get by it :)
Happy Thursday!
Great TT! there is a video floating around of a scene from Malcolm in the middle, of the mom in a parking lot who gets dinged by another car. I think they play "it's the most wonderful time of the year" as they end up playing derby and screaming. I
laughed so hard I cried.
congratulations on being a featured TT!

Ahhhh...this is why we do not celebrate Christmas. Well, that's not the reason but it is a nice fringe benefit.
Happy TT and congrats on being a featured blogger today!
I'm not sure if we're lucky or unlucky to have ALL of our family within 20 miles of us. We spend Christmas Eve at 2 places, Christmas Day at 2 places and then an extra Christmas either before or after the holiday someplace else. It's a lot of get up and go.
I'm not big into obligatory gift giving (although I like giving gifts when I find the right thing for someone) and this is why Thanksgiving is my favorite holiday, and we spend that holiday OUT OF TOWN! :)
Sounds like some good reasons to me too!
A great list!!
#13 is my Holiday Dread...but I'll probably put them up anyway. LOL
Great list! ;)
Thirteen Reasons Why I Imagine Depression Might Be a Good Thing ;)
i'm down with all you say, PLUS i'm a musician and the christmas season can be insane rushing from one place to another, singing the same songs all over again.
