I used to like the holidays, I got into the whole decorating and cooking thing. Loved making complicated cookies, breads and cakes. Not so much anymore. I've turned into a curmudgeon. I especially hate the whole get together requirements. I go though the motions and smile while doing it but it's such a chore. Just let me hole up in an cabin somewhere far from people and I'd love it. Especially hate the whole commercial start of Christmas before Halloween. The stores the movie channels that play nothing but Christmas movies....ugh. It's too much.
