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

      I see. Christianity stole it from the Romans.

      It’s always who I suspect the most.

      Still though, I get a paid day off work.

        You’re not going to believe this, but the easter bunny actually has nothing to do with jesus either.

          Yeah, I just celebrate the stuff that made me happy as a kid.

            Okay.

            We need an “I got an N64 w/Goldeneye” day and an “I got the lego space-ship with light strips that actually light up” day.

              I still try to have a nice hanami. Take my dining table and zabutons and a nice blanket, the good chopsticks and enough cutting boards, hundreds of dollars of sashimi, desserts, rice, the whole works, and lay out a feast there on the Oregon State Capitol grounds, watching the sakura fall, while eating at a classy dining table and generally one-upping everyone else’s hanami.

              That’s the holiday I’m invested in.
