I hate Christmas!
That’s it, I hate Christmas. Yes, and hello to all of you too. Sorry, I was hoping to do my first blog about something fun and happy, like unicorns or bunnies, or something, but I just can’t because it’s that time of the year, and I hate it!
Why do I hate it? I’m sure most of you couldn’t care less why I do, but I’m going to write it down anyway.
The damn long lines. I went to the stupid store today to get presents for my family and some friends. I knew what I was getting and where in the store to get everything, so it shouldn’t have taken that long, but noooooooooo, everybody and their damn grandmother also had to be getting crap, so the place was crowded and the lines were long and all I could think of was Ellen Degeneres telling me to find my happy place and how I could easily ram a shopping cart into the legs of the old lady in front of me and make a bee line for the exit.
Gifts. Aaargh! Why do people have to be so damn hard to buy for? Stop dropping hints for what you want to get and then have me go out and buy it for you only for said person to have bought it for themselves the day before. Dammit! You just won’t get a present!
Planning Holiday activities for my kids. And those are the kids I teach; no I haven’t had any children in the last few years. Do you know how hard it is to plan activities that all can do without them being religious or offensive in some way. I swear, I am about to give up.
So, pass me some eggnog and let this damn holiday season end already! Oh and Happy Holidays everyone!

Welcome to your weblog, Jess!
Is Ellen Degeneres your spiritual guide? If you need something inclusive and inoffensive for the kiddies, you could take them to see Team America.

No, she isn’t but she was on the TV screen in the store talking about finding your happy place. It was a piece from one of her stand ups. And it was oh so appropriate at the time.
