Holidays suck.

[Dex]

In all aspects clearly. Can't be more literal than that.

Nothing like a Sunday fap, nap and video games.

Well I'm in my mid 30s and it finally occurred to me just today.... Easter candy is just Halloween candy with pastel food coloring.

You ungrateful SOB's in the regular world.

 

 

How many of you got a 3 day weekend, and are sitting here bitching?

 

I worked Friday, Sat, and half a day Sunday.

Holiday? I went to the gym (as normal on Sunday) came home, took a nap and watched some golf...

 

 

About the same thing here...spent the entire day cussing like a sailor out on the golf course which was surprisingly crowded.

Had a great time with my family because we are nice and aren't ornery people.

Took my 3 year old to a Matinee movie at 8:30 a.m., hid some eggs that took me 3 minutes to do and now i'm the best father in the world.

Some sad people in this thread. Joy is best when shared with others. Family, friends or even strangers. Be grateful and not stressed over things you have to do because the reality is that you GET TO DO THEM.

i get along with both my side of the family and my wife's side. both sides are only an hour away from each other so the only bad part is that we have to run from one family thing to the other and usually have to eat one big meal just a couple hours after the other. both sides have young kids so my kids have kids to play with while the dad's either watch sports on tv (my wife's family) or go out fishing/hunting/walking around the woods/sitting around the fire (my side of the family). when we're with my family around christmas, we will often stay up late and play cards or board games (though we're kind of getting too old to stay up very late).

 

all that might sound boring, but it's always been a nice break from real life. in fact in my younger days, my home was always where friends from college would come to recuperate from the stresses of school life.

 

now it's pretty much just family that comes around, but there's a lot of us. there are some good friends that come over as well from time to time and hang out after they get done doing their family things.

 

most of us live fairly close to each other, but get too busy to see each other very often so holidays are a good excuse to get together. they are far from sucking. in fact they've always been great in my book and since i have had kids it's become even better. i think that's the way it's supposed to be and i'm glad to be part of a situation like that and hope it continues that way the rest of my life.
