It's not the holiday I find annoying. It's the crowds and mobs of people in the stores. I don't mind standing in line, but I hate all the people in the stores. And generally despite the season...they aren't nice and cheerful despite the commercials and what people say.

Thank you. Today I have to do yard work (supposedly) so if we do that...and I have energy tomorrow...I'm going to clean up my room and sort things out and make my card list--see who I have addresses for and email people I'd like them for and don't have (which hopefully won't be many).
