Holiday things you could do without

Since we're in the midst of THAT time of the year, I found myself being surrounded by and reminded of the many things that I really wouldn't miss around the holidays.

Yes, Maki the Grinch!!! XD

So, as the title suggests, what are some things you could do without this time of the year? It can be as simple as a list or a full out, bah humbug, rant! :D

For me, it is holiday fruitcake, or whatever that ball of slime-looking thing is supposed to be.

I mean, I see them EVERYWHERE, yet no one EVER touches them off the table of goodies.

Office parties, family parties, etc, etc...what the heck are people thinking!?!? XD

They are better used as door stops than a consumable food.

Anyway, you get the idea.

Be The Grinch! GO GO GO!

I could go one year without the "War on Christmas" propaganda

The incessant Christmas music everywhere you go. It's Christmas time--I get it already! Now please shut the ____ up before I start running down sidewalk Santas. . .

Children. I hate children.

Little do many know, it's actually the same fruitcake every year. It's known as the "ancestral fruitcake"


On what I could do without, I actually don't mind most of the seasonal stuff. My big annoyance is that it starts in October now, but who doesn't that annoy?

I guess I'll say those really dry butter cookies I always somehow manage to have given to me.
