On this Eve, I feel a bit of ambivalence. This time of year for me comes with so many mixed emotions.
I actually enjoy Christmas for the most part, with the whole family, food, pretty things, food, good will, and of course food.
However, there are some concurrent issues I do not enjoy as much, and you get to see them and laugh instead of feel cynical.
Yay!
By the end of this, I actually struggled to think of ten things. It's just a testament to how nice Christmas can be, I guess.

10) "Fruit cake"
9) Obnoxious Christmas music. Just fuck all of that.
8) You have to be polite to people you don't really like.
7) You usually have to get dressed, nicely.
6) Which means you find out that favorite outfit "shrank."
5) Picking gifts for that relative who has everything.
4) In-laws.
3) "Holiday" treats always have nuts, especially walnuts!
2) Realizing you get two more weeks before the neighbors nag about your lights.
1) Black Friday, fucking Black Friday.
I could write for a week about all the things wrong with that one.
Now see? That wasn't so bad was it? Go open your stocking and eat chocolate coins and be happy!
