Thank heavens THAT'S over

Not that I don't love the gift giving--that's actually my favorite part of Christmas. No, it's the SHOPPING and the CROWDS and the UNIDENTIFIABLE STRESS that I don't care for so much.

AND.

I simply love how, when people get a present, they do nothing but complain about it. Way to go. NICE.
Maybe you should just be thankful that someone thought enough about you to give you one, whether or not it's something you wanted, whether or not it's something you wouldn't have chosen for yourself, whether or not you even like the gift.

THOSE people are the true Grinches who steal Christmas.

Is all I'm saying.

**I should note that there ARE a couple of exceptions, like if your spouse gives you appliances for which you had not expressed any desire, or if someone gives your kid a pet without checking with you first.

Some of those Grinches are members of my family, unfortunately. However, me being who I am, I couldn't remain silent.
THEIR shame, not mine.
