No, they over staff like crazy this time of year. They don't force people to come in either. The joys of working for a big company.

I don't care tbh. As I've gotten older, I've gotten over Christmas and become much more excited about New Years Eve. Christmas is stressful this year though because I've been too busy all of December, so I'm trying to get everything done in the final days. Blah.

That's good, Amy! I got completely fucked over at my previous job by people doing that, it was the worst Christmas I ever had we were over staffed but because we were over staffed everyone thought it wouldn't make a difference if they took the day off, so I ended up working three miserable fourteen hour days in a row with one 20 min break. That might even be where my hatred of christmas started.

IT'S THE MOST WONDERFUL TIME OF THE YEAR~*

I am like a living embodiment of Christmas spirit around this time of year. I have so many family traditions. I love Christmas music and movies and I dress festive and I love buying surprises for people. It used to be the only time of year that I got to see my grandma too who lived across the country, but she's moved by us now. There's so much to be happy about for me, and it's my favorite holiday of all :')

This is the first Christmas I'll have off in 3 years, but I cabt go home cause flights are booked lol.

Idk Christmas movies are fun! But i don't really care anymore lol

I love christmas. n_n

Seriously, customers get even dumber this time of year.

I've been helping out in Customer Services at work, and there have been a few people ringing up and being rude, so I know what you mean.

I love Christmas, although the last few years my dad has become antisocial at Christmas, last year he barely spent time with us. But I do love Christmas, I do like watching some Christmas films but some of them I'm not keen on.

This is the first year in a decently long time that I've actually been excited for Christmas. My sister and I are surprising my mom with a family trip to Disney World next April/May and I'm spending most of the day with my guy's family, plus FINALLY seeing Star Wars on Christmas Eve, so it should be a great time

I don't care about Christmas itself, except that I find the constant Christmas music and everyone fighting to get the best presents etc so annoying. But the lights are pretty. We used to drive around this one neighborhood where EVERY house had insane Christmas lights, just to look at them.

That being said, I HATE this time of year because I work retail and everyone loses their minds and become extra rude, etc.

I am a subtle Grinch. I don't parade it. Just another day of the year.

I am about the gifts life but otherwise, I don't give faqks. This year I have to pretend Santa is real because I live with my nieces. I don't like it... except to hold over my nieces to be good lol.

Is this supposed to be about Jesus? LOL don't even. Pressure to buy gifts? LOL, broke. The season to be jolly? LOL, retail. Snow? LOL, shovel this not. Just a bunch of commercialism and unnecessary pressure. I wanna buy you a thing when I see it randomly and wanna give it to you. I totes support the individualistic ideas about people getting time off to be with fam but on a whole, just a bunch of nonsense (there is the head of my Grinch). Otherwise feed me and give me gifts and I am good .
