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

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

        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.
