is today. The first Monday after the holidays are over. Back to the grind, as the working world has it, but for me it’s the harbinger of 8+ months of peace from The Holiday I Will Not Name. Even the Hallmark channel has stopped showing Those Holiday Movies, and I think the stupid Buy A Car For The Holidays commercials are winding down. So join me and lift a glass of your preferred beverage to the time of real peace and goodwill among persons that starts today and ends not long enough after Labor Day. ---

You know, technically the Holiday You Will Not Name has twelve days, and therefore lasts through tomorrow. ---

Fully agreed! The bullshit season is over. Now maybe I can find a job posting that wasn’t posted two weeks before that damn Xmas. ---

The stupid Buy A Car For The Holidays commercials are still in pretty heavy rotation, and boy am I sick of them. ---

> [@Arrendajo](#): > > The stupid Buy A Car For The Holidays commercials are still in pretty heavy rotation, and boy am I sick of them. Gosh YES. I’ll be SO glad when they reach their ‘sale ends by’ date and I no longer have to listen to jingle bells. There are a few others still nattering on about that thing whose name shall not be uttered in this thread, but they’re winding down. On to Super Bowl I guess. Crap. ---

Happy Valentine’s Day! ETA: I see my good wishes were ninja’d by **Spiderman**. I spied some suspiciously heart shaped chocolate boxes in the grocery store, too . . . ---
