Holiday Cleansing

Sorry It took me a couple days Mel!

Please tell us your least favorite/most annoying seasonal….
1) dessert/cookie/family food
Have to agree with Mel on this one. Fruitcake has got to be the nastiest food invention ever. Any food that is a standard holiday joke should make one wonder.
2) beverage (seasonal beer, eggnog w/ way too much egg and not enough nog, etc…)
Eggnog and beer is disgusting. Can’t say I like either of those
3) tradition (church, family, other)
My extended family still gives gifts to each other, and though it’s fun to open all those presents at Christmas time, given that our family is so bless I can’t help but wonder if all the money we spend on each other (aunts, uncles, cousins) could be better spend on other families less fortunate.
4) decoration
I have to say inflatables. They have become quite popular over the last few years and I think the worst thing is driving by someones house with their yard full of inflatables. I think it’s just an easy way to get out of decorating. (No offense to those who have some)
5) gift (received or given)
My grandma used to get my sister and I underwear for Christmas. Though she tried, most of the time you wished she just hadn’t gotten anything at all.
BONUS: SONG/CD that makes you want to tell the elves where to stick it.
Again, got to agree with Mel. “Little Drummer Boy” it’s very hard to pull this song off with some class and by the end of it I’m sure I’ve got it turned off the radio.
