Why do you personally hate Christmas? (lemmy.world)

For those that can't stand this time of the year, my misery seeks company. What does it for you?

For me: aside from the usual family stuff:

I worked front-end in a post office back when that meant a line-up before I opened the doors to the end of the day when I had to inform the line-up that was still out the door that, yes, I was going to close on time. (Some didn't take that well. For me it was just another Tuesday...)

It meant a lot of work with little thanks and I had to listen to the same shitty Xmas playlist over and over all day.

Edit/PS: The quick downvote sells it. Perfection. chefs kiss

Why do all the stores have to be closed today?
I hate hearing the same 4 songs over and over again.
the holidays are inauthentic. I think I hate that the most.
the fact that some people are triggered by “happy holidays”.
