I hate XMASS because I get yelled at a lot. Of course, it goes with the territory, but when people are stressed they generally take it out on other people, usually people in the service industry.
We get yelled at for going over in hours, but we get yelled at for not putting enough people on. Customers freak out because we run out of sizes, or their present isn't going to arrive in time for XMASS. Then there is more shoplifting because people get desperate and professional criminals take advantage of not enough staff on the floor to watch all the people.
Then my Mom gives me a hard time if I don't ship my presents to her two weeks before XMASS. This year it's harder to do that since I'm down a roommate. Not to mention that I have to work New Years Eve and New Year's Day and am not getting overtime for it.
I'll be happy in January when I get two weeks off.
