Questions from a Harsh Day...

What is it about Christmas season that puts everyone at their worst? What is it about vulgar expressions of love (and if you're Christian and wondering, that's not a euphemism for sex) that makes them so cathartic? What is it about being a visitor that makes some people react with fear, rage, hate, indifference, out-grouping, etc.? What is it

Everyone's at their worst because we've all been convinced that love and peace and all that are supposed to abound at Christmastime, when they don't about any other day of the year.

If they were to truly embrace the core values that go along with the religious holiday they were celebrating, they wouldn't have to make Christmastime so special.

It's just a case of dashed expectations that puts everyone in a grumpy mood. That, and they have to see their weird family.

I'm sorry your visit was so shitty.
