Re: What do you hate about the holidays?

I prefer those with both likes and dislikes and definite, passionate about them. I find lukewarm people boring. If I'm going to be loved or hated, I want it to be intensely.

Re: What do you hate about the holidays?

The crowds in big cities are mind-boggling during the holidays. I grew up in the NYC suburbs but never ventured into Manhattan until after the new year. A few years ago, my husband and I decided to spend a weekend in NYC before flying out to Florida to visit family for the holidays. I have never seen so many people in my life. Rockefeller Center looked like a sardine can. It was insane!

Being by myself.  My family (what's left) is not close and I'm not married nor do I have any children or close friends.

A reading of Dickens' A Christmas Carol will get you in the holiday spirit.

havent read any of the responses at all, but wanted to chime in.

i cannot think of one thing that i HATE about the holidays except that they go by too quickly. everything else is great.......and i enjoy the time immensely.

No much, actually--with the exception of having to hear in stores or on the radio Paul McCartney's "Simply Having a Wonderful Christmas Time". I'm a pianist, and that song drives me nuts with it's repetition! Hopefully, the Beetles fans won't get on my case too much! Woman Very Happy

My heart goes out to you. If we lived in the same cities, I'd invite you over for Christmas dinner.
