Christmas puts me in a terrible mood. Am I the only one?

You cook for 75 people ?

Not to mention clean, house, entertain ??

It's a joint effort, everyone brings something and some come early to clean but it is incredibly stressful but fun

I at least have a new woman in my life

Than means even more people to visit!!!!!!!!

I have never liked any of the "holidays" for as long as I can remember. Now it is even worse because it is not even about them anymore. Its about the all mighty dollar bill!!!
I screwed up this year and forgot to get my wife's cherry coke when I went to HEB. Well the day before thanksgiving she was almost out so I decided to brave the crowd of idiots that I knew were going to be there getting their last minute turkeys. Not to my surprise, the parking lot was PACKED. I finally got inside to find that is was all MORONS starting their christmas shopping early because HEB already had all that stuff out on display!!!!
I really need to move to a nice quiet town in the middle of nowhere
