10 Things I hate about Christmas
10. Other people send us Christmas cards - therefore making me feel guilty because I had not the foresight or time to send Christmas cards to anyone.
9. Somebody will give me an unexpected Christmas present - therefore making me feel guilty because I had not the foresight to buy that person a present.
8. Someone at work or in the Blogosphere will brag about finishing all their Christmas shopping, wrapping all their gifts and getting those gifts mailed out on time to arrive for Christmas - therefore making me feel guilty because I have yet to even wrap a gift, much less get it in the mail in time for Christmas.
7. Other people manage to find and fit into Christmas sweaters - therefore making me feel guilty that I have no idea what happened to the several I think I had at one time and making me doubly guilty because I'm pretty sure they would be too small for me anyway!
6. We will be invited to a lovely Christmas party in a home that is beautifully decorated and uncluttered - therefore making me feel guilty because my home is neither beautifully decorated or uncluttered and all the walls need painting.
5. Because it is the last quarter of the fiscal year for my company, I had to travel 7 weeks out of the last 9 weeks so we could make our numbers - therefore making me feel guilty because I'm not spending enough time at home.
4. I really hate driving to see relatives on Christmas, I want to be at my house with my family - and just thinking that way makes me feel guilty.
3. One of the guys at work objected to my saying, Merry Christmas - he said I should say Happy Holidays, in case he was Jewish or Muslim - I told him that I know he is Christian, and to just live with it - I tell my Jewish co-worker Happy Hanukkah and even the Hindus I work with told me Merry Christmas - arggghhhh!!!! He wants me to feel guilty.
2. I have to go into work on Friday - therefore making me guilty because we have to leave my inlaw's house early Friday morning..
1. Because liberals are trying to secularize Christmas, and take all meaning away from it. Therefore trying to make me feel guilty because I believe in God and His Son.
