Tuesday’s Top Ten: Things I Can Do Without For The Holidays
10. Gimmicky sales days like “Black Friday”, “Cyber Monday”, “Super Santa Saturday”. Okay, I made the last one up.
9. Commercials mimicking the classic holiday stop-motion specials. Yes ALLTEL I’m talking to you!
8. The Maxwell House commercial from twenty years ago where the kid comes home and wakes everyone up with the smell of coffee.
7. News reports on how retailers are hurting. Excitedly, I rush out only to see the malls are packed.
6. News reports of George Bush flipping the switch for the tree at the Obama House. That’s gonna tick off at least one person on the email list! 
5. Eggnog. Every year I think I like it, then I have some only to become sick to my stomach.
4. Not getting toys for Xmas. I don’t know when it became acceptable for me to stop getting cool loot.
3. Mall elves. Sorry little people, I know this is “your time of year” but I don’t get a time of year and it’s kind of creepy.
2. Holiday movies. I get it. They all lived happily ever after.
1. Holiday compilation CDs. Do I really need to hear Britney Spears or Jessica Simpson belt out the songs that have been done 150 million times before? NO!
Bah Humbug. Next Tuesday maybe I’ll do a Top Ten about what I like about the holidays…but right now, after writing and rereading that list…I’m too *peeved* to think about it.
