What irks me about the holidays
Jeff Wrangler:
I'll stick my neck out again with something else that I know will make me sound like a spoiled brat (maybe I am?).
At Christmas very dear and very well-meaning relatives tend to inundate me with loads of "consumables" that my waistline doesn't need and I really don't want: Candy, cookies, you name it. Moreover, if I were loading up a car for my return home, it wouldn't be so difficult, but when you have to travel by public transportation, it can be very difficult to lug all this stuff home.
This year I was gifted two bottles of wine; I left them both at my dad's house because there was no way I could get them back to Philadelphia on the train today. (The wine was in addition to cookies AND candy AND hot chocolate mix.)
I do appreciate the thought, but I wish they wouldn't overdo it so much. At least I have the cookies and candy to share when I go back to work January 5. :-\

What irks me right now is it's too warm! We need some snowflakes in the air to have a proper Christmas shopping season. It feels more like lemonade weather than hot cocoa!

Yup! We were discussing this at the Christmas party I went to on Saturday, and how they could've done a bbq party instead of cooking in the kitchen. LOL
The hosts of the party were wearing shorts!
