Hard same. I am filled with loathing at the first sight of red and green bullshit on the shelves and I attribute this in a significant amount to my time spent in retail.50 variations of the same 5 “non-offensive” Christmas songs for 8 hours a day didn’t help.
A customer caught me bouncing back and forth to one of the songs while I was doing markdowns one day. She laughed and said, “Do you like this song?” I looked her dead in the eyes and said, “ I hate it.”
I used to ride home on the light-rail after work with my headphones in my ears but playing nothing just to finally escape the psychological assault of forced joy Christmas music all day.
Otherwise, I find it a season that just highlights that I am utterly inadequate, incorrect, poor, and mentally ill. I loathe absolutely everything to do with this holiday.
