In Other Words

I feel I should clarify the point I was attempting to make in my previous post. I do not think that holidays are terribly difficult or that they might not be worth the trouble. I was simply voicing that, as Heather commented, everyone forgets that last minute item at the same time and then you wait in line for what seems like an eternity.

I enjoy holidays, I just don't recall ever having been the one to stand in line and think about which items I can discreetly ditch near the checkout stand so that I might slip quietly into the express lane. I can't say that I'm fond of crowds. I have even less affection for waiting in line. I avoid The Day After Thanksgiving as though my life depended on it. I don't even like to leave my house. I make sure my milk won't expire on or before the Friday following Thanksgiving so I can avoid an unnecessary trip into the crazed community.

Ultimately, I was attempting to share my distaste for seasonal crowds.
No more. No less.
