A lot of people get worked up over the holidays. In fact, studies show that the pressure to give gifts, and the lack of money and time, results in over 50% of Americans feeling stressed. Luckily for me, I don’t feel pressure to give gifts and, with the end of the world looming, I’m draining my bank accounts, maxing out my credit cards and burning up all of my vacation. I’ve got the money, honey, and the time. The only concern I have is whether or not to wear something flame retardant on December 21st.
If, however, the 21st comes and goes without incident, I’m quite looking forward to Christmas Eve. While the majority of people get caught up in the gifts, thus, prefer Christmas Day, I prefer Christmas Eve and the true meaning of Christmas – the importance of travel and securing good lodging. Whenever I have the privilege of experiencing a long journey, it is comforting to know my hotel is four-star and less than $200/night.
With lodging deals like that, and my flame retardant attire, I’m more than ready for men bearing gifts and expect nothing in return.
