I hate the holidays
there I said it
you can crucify me
and you can leave me out of your plans
I'm the scroogiest of scrooges as time goes on
I want my time to myself
I want Christmas vacation to recover from my job morbidity
I don't want to visit chat, exchange cookies or have meals with your
family
or mine
no thinks
I hate the holidays
there, I said it
you can recoil in horror I don't really care
you can buy endless gifts for ungrateful people
you can speak endless nothings and compliment people you hate
but
I wont join you.
