things I hate about Christmas.

1.  My uncle's girlfriend, a Barnard alum who hates Chinese people and is proud of her homemade apple pies.  And her children.  Because my uncle is the OMG Patriarch we have to join his girlfriend's family for Christmas.  And they're Jewish, for fuck's sake. 
2.  Awkward encounters with former friends that I am GUILTED INTO. 
3.  iTunes breaking because too many people are trying to redeem gift cards.

I just want to watch the Law & Order marathon and sleep.  Fuck this stupid social crap.  As Christina says, "I hate people."
