Holidays always seem to be so confusing for me. No matter what happens, something always makes me question the basic things that just are associated with the holidays. This year, my thoughts are as follows:
1. Why are people so rude? They act as if their wants are the most important thing in the world and everyone else doesn't matter. I got this one from working at Market Basket. Everyone coming through the line that I was bagging for treated me as if I didn't have feelings or wasn't human or something. I wanted to yell at them, "I'm a person to so stop treating me like a piece of ****!" People can be so aggravating like that, thinking that it is only them that matter. Of course, there were exceptions and some very nice people, but a whole lot of them created this question. The holidays are supposed to be about enjoying being with family and enjoying life, not crushing other people under our feet like nuts in a nutcracker (keeping the analogies festive).
2. Grouchy family members are just not okay. I went to my uncle's house for Thanksgiving and he's usually pretty terrible, but it is like that holidays do something to him that make him go crazy. He went off on people who came for "not parking correctly in the driveway." He also became a neat freak and managed to "accidentally" pour half of the dinner into the trash to clean the plates that they were on. That set dinner back by a LONG time. This was happening while he let his sick wife who couldn't so much as speak recook all of the dinner. I'm not quite sure if he is crazy or just insane. After, everyone lost their minds when my brother won a game of LCR and almost killed him. I would have been fine with it but apparently that "isn't okay."
3. I love the climate of New England, but it gets to be a little insane when it goes from 60 to -5 in an hour. I'll be doing something, like bell-ringing for the stupid Salvation Army (which is another rant in itself, maybe I'll get to it someday). and all of a sudden I'm ready to go into hibernation to get away from the cold. It is not good. I just wish it would snow.
Well, that's all I have for now. It's not good, but it is a rant, and that's good enough for me.
