I thought I was the only one who totally dispised the holiday season and the long and slow death I feel every year as they approach. I hide in my garage while family are at my house, come out for feedings and then run right back becuase it is safe and I don't have to sit there and watch the seasonal sprite on display. I wish I could find a place where the holidays did not exist, go there just before thanksgiving and come back about week after new years.

My wife hates it, but won't say anything to me, in order to avoid the fight, my son is too young to really understand and I am too old and lived through to many painful seasons and can't really find a reason to change.
