"Did you ever notice that the more rushed you are, the more likely it is that the checkout line you are in is going to experience a cash register breakdown? And what's up with kids today who need $200 sneakers. When I was a kid . . . ."

It's the only thing you can bitch about around Hanukah/ Christmas. What else are we going to whine over? Getting lots of great presents? Going to parties, hanging with our friends, nibbling great hors d'ouevres, getting soused on the really good stuff? Santa Claus?
Give the curmudgeons a break. It's all we've got this time of year. And don't take anyone too seriously who's complaining with a heavily spiked eggnog in his/her hand.
