I really hate them. Really. I never get invited to do anything and, if I did, I probably would't go. But also I hate the feeling that I can't escape them. For instance tonight I can't escape the fireworks. Even in my own house. Someone will fire them off. I have to go to work tomorrow. My cat is scared of fireworks?

I hate like the family holidays! When I had a family it was always a miserable time as we were all on top of each other and now, I have to feel so badly about not having a great family gathering.

I hate the constant pre holiday "any plans for the -- 4th? Thanksgiving? Christmas? Father's day?

One time someone I was working with at my job wished me happy mother's day. I made my self miserable wondering if I should tell him.

The only holiday I truly enjoy is Halloween because that seems like something that is for everyone.
