Everyone has a set of traditions for the holidays, even if it’s just getting drunk and hating your family while eating their shitty food and watching It’s a Wonderful Life.

Endings tend to be difficult. Sometimes you don’t want your favorite things to end, but they invariably must. Hopefully when they do end, it’s in a satisfying fashion. But a lot of times ending tend to be abrupt and leave you feeling more upset than sated.

No where else but America do we give thanks but beating the ever loving crap out of others in order to save on things we don’t really even need. But assuming you can deal with some cuts and scrapes, you can make out with some sweet deals.

I almost always return more exhausted than when I left. What I need is a vacation where I don’ have to work, and can just enjoy myself. That’s the dream!
