A Curmudgeon's Holiday Guide

I like most holidays, but if there’s one thing I dread about almost all of them, it’s the backlash. Every year, some of my online acquaintances see fit to gripe when the time comes, often prompting refutations. This year I’ve compiled a list of holiday curmudgeon clichés that I’ve learned to expect and would rather not encounter again.

( Valentine’s Day is as good as any to present this )

I can think of other holidays, but people in my circles either don’t know and care enough or don’t feel right talking smack about them. That’s why I didn’t include any Jewish holidays.
