It’s actually called the “Stuff I Hate About the Holidays Meme” and Coffeepastor started it. Humbug takes up a lot less space in the title line.

 

1) dessert/cookie/family food – Sand Tarts. Be gone, spawn of Satan!

2) beverage (seasonal beer, eggnog w/ way too much egg and not enough nog, etc…)  – Any beer that has fruity flavor added, including but not in any sense limited to Pete’s Wicked Winter Brew. Wicked indeed. Ugh.

3) tradition (church, family, other) – Staying up late to wrap presents.

4) decoration – I was going to give this honor to Will’s Star Trek Christmas Tree Ornaments, but that was before someone installed a red light on our front porch. Yes, it is true. We now have the only house in our neighborhood, in fact, the only house in all of Pottstown with a red porchlight. Red!!!

5) gift (received or given) – Rocks. My parents actually gave us a bag of rocks one Christmas. No, not last year you goof! When we were kids. My brother and sister deserved the rocks but I did not. I was an angel. My brother and sister will back me up on this.

BONUS: SONG/CD that makes you want to tell the elves where to stick it. - Coffeepastor really can’t stand Feliz Navidad, but I kind of like that song. Santa Baby by anybody just makes me gag, but particularly when Madonna sings it. Ewww! I don’t even like to think about it.
