Nestie Survey: What do you hate most about the holidays?
in Holidays
Hi Nesties,
Help us with a survey for The Nest!
Although there's much to love about the holidays (seeing family and friends, decorating, gifts J) there are also some things we all dread. So tell us, what do you hate most about the holiday season?
Thanks!
Re: Nestie Survey: What do you hate most about the holidays?
I hate that the whole season has become one big PC fest, people forget that it's called CHRISTmas for a reason. (Even if Christmas was changed from a pagan holiday to a Christian one!)

The rushing around! Even though, DH and I spend Christmas Eve with DH's family and the first 1/2 of Christmas day with my parents, and the rest of Christmas day with just the 2 of us, I wish would could spend more time with everyone.
The cost of it.
Hurts my wallet
Can I be in your family because you sound like a hoot
This. I remember in school we had CHRISTMAS parties, you'd never hear that term in school today (even though 99% of the population celebrates Christmas - ok, maybe a little less but it's still a large majority).
The time split! We grew up in the same town, so both our families and most of our close friends are in the same area. It's great most of the times, but during the holidays it can make the fun of seeing everyone stressful. So many people we want to see and spend time with, but only so much time that we're in town.
They understand and are really good about it, but it's always hard trying to keep the time split fairly without feeling like we're hurting anyone's feelings or letting people feel left out. It would almost be easier to alternate holidays so we could spend all of 1 with one side, and all of 1 with another instead of constantly rushing around.
Stressful but worth it in the end
I hate that so many people get up in arms about the PC (saying it's CHRISTmas, for example). You can celebrate winter holidays without making them religious, and the focus can still be on love, kindness, and generosity without needing to specifically affiliate it with any religion (or group of religions).
I'm not trying to start a fight here. Personally, I am Catholic and I celebrate Christmas. Just stating my opinion that some people go overboard with hating on the PC.
I'm not inclined to resign to maturity
