I'm not exactly a Holiday's Scrouge, but there's so much about the Holidays that drives me to distraction. Right now, for example, my wife is "decorating" our house with endless excesses of red and green trash -- while listening to endless repetitions of insipid Holiday music. I especially loath the kazoo music by Kenny Something-or-other. My only recourse is to escape to my den where I refuse to allow any of this dreck.

Oh well, I could have it worse, I suppose. I could be forced to work in a store that plays that awful music all day long for months on end.

Sorry about the whining. I just needed to vent.
