I work retail and am not close to very much of my family, so Thanksgiving/Christmas time holds nothing but misery for me. I’m not just being melodramatic or comically complaining about the holidays, I really hate them.

I don’t hate the concept or the principle, it’s just that this time of year all I really see as far as the Christmas spirit is the greedy, selfish, shitty side of people. (obviously not all I see, but compared to a normal time of year christmas and thanksgiving is particularly miserable.)

I never went to college, and I’ve made it as far as manager, it’d be unlikely for me to be able to get a better job anywhere else without going to school, which I can’t afford.
