Those of us who went to the hospital (for example) got to spend some time with children who needed a little bit of joy, and received more than our fair share in return.
If someone spends the holidays in mindless self-indulgence and selfish pursuits, I can see why they might hate this time of year. It must be a very lonely, very empty feeling.

Depends a lot on the family Emmy, but for the way you make your family sound either they are bible thumpers or have no sense of humor at all, how come you didn't just go away?

I don't have a family, but the last few years when it was just my father and I were pretty unpleasent. I miss him now. Maybe we could have found some common ground.

Chimera, I hope you aren't a mean drunk. That is if you can get drunk.
Don't worry E, I didn't do it so I could get drunk (which I think is pretty much impossible for most Novas, isn't it?) but so I could get into a few clubs to party.
