For me:
1) Drivers who don't care if you have a Disabled sticker on your license
2) People shoving constantly to be 'first'.
3) Sales clerks who don't care whether you get served or not.

1. Our family (whats left of it) will not all be together for Christmas. Since the death of my grandma and my brother, our family just doesn't get together any more. Just them seeing that we could ALL be there together and talking to each other for Christmas would make my parents so happy.
2. When I go shopping just to buy food, the stores are so crowded and most people are shoving and pushing. Takes for ever to get waited on cause the stores don't hire enough people for the busy season.
3. Not having any body to share Christmas with as in a mate or partner. I just don't like going places alone.

1. That even though I tried hard not to, I'm going to have to go
to the mall after all for things I can't get at the local shops.
2. That I'm probably going to have trouble finding the right
sizes.
3. That Christmas shouldn't be all about this kind of pressure
and I feel like I've fallen into the trap again this year!
Glad you're back, Wally!

that asolute strangers act like now they are my best friend and demand that I have a Merry Christmas ! The religious fanatics that insist I "praise the lord". Most of all, the artificial christmas tree's that have been on display since Oct. 20 are actually coming down ! and no it's not a christmas tree, it's an evergreen ! and last of all , the people that wait for Jan. 2 to file for divorce, for the childrens sake.

Hearing taped Christmas music and the Nutcracker music
all the time, even on ads on TV. By the time Christmas comes, I'm sick of it.
People pushing and shoving to be first in line.
So many catalogues in the mail, you can't possibly order from all of them. They end up in the recycling bin.

That it's becoming unacceptable to say the word "Christmas".
That those who don't believe are able to destroy the beliefs of those who do, and heaven help us if we don't like it.
That people with no soul stand out more, something about celebrating the birth of Christ seems to make them rise up.
But, on the bright side, good people seem to manage to make us feel even better than usual!

That the driving conditions are probably not going to be very good when I want to go to see the grandkids. That they live 4 hours away when the roads are in good shape. That I do not get to see some friends from far away (wink)

1. being broke and not being able to do for family what I'd like
2. having to shop IN the stores since I have to wait for a check to arrive....I usually shop online and hate in-store shopping
3. not having Christmas at my house this year - makes it easier if everything is here! [I know that is selfish!]

That this is the first Christmas I won't be with my youngest son. He moved back to California in June.
That's it, kid. Everything else is okay.
