This article makes me pity single people. Sorry your lives are so miserable that fried chicken makes you whole. Maybe that’s why you’re single?
I suspect the ill will was less of a concern as paying OT for workers when it’s a normally slow time.
Get married, have kids, gain in-laws then appreciate being alone.
This is why I, a non-jew, always order Chinese takeout on Christmas. All the lack of stress of not cooking, and no fighting with crowds.
My dad was an air traffic controller/manager when I was growing up. He frequently volunteered to work on Christmas because of the Holiday pay. It was grueling having to wait to open presents until he got off his shift, but I do appreciate the sacrifices he made for us(his family).
Indeed they do not.
It’s funny how no one seems to mind places like movie theaters or gas stations being open on Christmas.
Honestly, the idea of eating what I want, watching what I want, napping when I want on Christmas doesn’t seem all that bad!
I’m happy with my singledom. I get to pick everything and not share. Hmmm...perhaps I was the monster and not my ex. Oh well, too late now.
Yeah, after a decade of it, you don’t care anymore and actually enjoy it fine unless you just go out of your way to make yourself feel bad.
Jesus Christ, being without family or friends for Christmas isn’t bad enough? Now I’ve gotta be depressed about single, too? Thanks, Japan!
It still sounds like catnip as tea beats rolling it into a joint & smoking it.
First tried catnip tea 30 years ago, it’s fine but you can’t just have the catnip, you need to add other herbs/flavors to make it taste better.
This won’t stop the stupids. Require proof of vaccination for anyone getting on the plane, that’s it. Let the yo-yos drive to where they want to be.
If they don’t celebrate Christmas, like literally billions of other people, then it’s just another day. It’s a nice opportunity to taste ethnic food from other countries.
NOT EVERYONE CELEBRATES CHRISTIAN HOLIDAYS!
Sling hash or spend five hours with my increasingly-inebriated relatives? I’ll sling hash, please.
There were many holidays where I was far from home and sitting alone in front of a sad Cornish Hen and a bowl of mashed potatoes sounded way worse than going into work and eating the store bought sugar cookies someone put in the break room.
It is a distinct possibility that some people would rather be working on Christmas, or that they genuinely do not care. I would hope anyone who *wants* to be off is able to be, but I don’t see a problem with letting staff volunteer to work.
