I fucking hate that music now, which makes me sad, because once upon a time it made me quite happy. But since this one channel of Muzak has sliced and diced all the halfway decent christmas carols into something shitty like the best of Bing, frank, dean, I want to mutulate it. I'm suprised more people aren't offended by the holidays. Everyone gets offended so easily these days that one would think that a whole 3 months (it starts the day after halloween and we all know it) of christmas hell might offend some that dno't believe. Evidently everyone is afraid to go up against the christmas monster. And who could blame them. christmas nay-sayers don't have a chance. I'm tired of cleaning up christmas shit. i think bill said it best. "all i want for christmas is, for it to be over." God damn right. sorry this is so long My mom gets on me for screaming when I go into a store and Jingle bell rock strolls into my ears.

Or most people wouldn't be such assholes this time of year. That's why I hate it. Everyone is so hell bent on having a Merry fucking Xmas, they blaze a trail of rude, boarish behavior to get there. And we're the ones stuck cleaning up the shit, or taking it. Americans aren’t very good at empathy.

Drinking and driving is white trash. This season, if you want to use party as a verb, hire a limo. Wait, that's still too trashy. Try a town car instead. Now that's classy. Though they probably will charge you if you toss your New Year's cookies. As someone who lives in the burbs of LA, Burbank to be exact, I agree. Drinking and driving is white trash.

You say it so much calmer than I ever could. Day jobbers (we call them Daybobs) don't get it. We love our jobs, but this time of year is a huge strain to be around the public, so much nervous, pent up, bad energy. So all we want for Christmas, is for it to be over. Feliz Navidad.
