    After many years of shitty Christmases … I refuse to leave the house on Christmas Day or any time from Christmas to New Years.

    Y’all crazy and insane out there and I don’t want to meet, talk or see any of you in person during this time of year.

    I’ve prepared my home base and I can live here with enough food for a month and enough entertainment for two lifetimes.

    Didn’t leave the house.

    I worked retail/food service for years. Going to places on Christmas tells employers that they need to be open those days, and that their employees don’t need the day off.

      Frankly i find it inconsiderate to the social contract to go out on holidays, and sometimes around them.

      Its frankly why i always found Black Friday and the “scope creep” of this festival of consumerism partially so repulsive. I mean its repulsive on its own just in the way people act, but doubly so in that it runs right through a national holiday.

        I lost years of Thanksgivings with family due to the scope creep of black Friday. Some years family could work around it, like we would have dinner at noon so I could be at work by 6 - but even then you feel terrible for forcing that.
