All the fooood. I always gain so much during Christmas. I hate stressing about finances. I want to just buy what I want for who I want and not have to constantly worry about my account balance.
Trying to figure out gifts for my in-laws. Every year, I start asking my husband to come up with ideas early and he never knows. I usually end up throwing something together at the last minute.
Overspending Trying to see everyone in a limited amount of time without hurting feelings, and working enough that my coworkers have enough time with their families

Just the overwhelming amount to do. This year has not been too bad. I did some stuff crazy early. Also not having much space in our house makes hiding and organizing gifts difficult.

Possibly flameful. Christmas music. I was never a very big fan but then I did a couple of Christmases in retail and I grew to hate Christmas music. Grinch party of one.
Also the post holidays "it's gonna be a while before we have a short week at work" feeling. Lol
Yes!!!! I get depressed on Jan 2 when we return to work. The next time off is Memorial Day.
I hate having to act like I love what some people buy me. All the house cleaning for people to show up for an hour, open gifts, eat & leave. Irritates me. I feel like Scrooge this year which is not like me at all. Gotta love those hormones.

there isn't much i dislike about the holidays. i was REALLY hoping last year would be our last time "running the gauntlet", aka visiting all the parents on christmas day. but alas, no babies means no reason to not go to them versus having them come to us.
The whole gift thing in general. I hate the obligation of getting gifts for so many people just because it's expected. Not thoughtful, not personal, just checking the "I got you a gift" box. Enjoy yet another Home Depot gift card, Uncle We See Once a Year!
