Long lines everywhere, too much on the to-do list, the obligatory Christmas dinner with relatives who get on your nerves, and another Advent come and gone that you never quite got around to observing the way you hoped. It’s enough to trigger grumpiness and zap anyone’s Christmas spirit.
But there’s a deeper reason why many of us don’t experience the Christmas cheer we long for and it’s this: our focus isn’t on the manger. In all the busyness and preparations, we forget what the feast of Christmas is really about and about how to tap into the joy and peace of the season. So this Christmas holiday, if you find yourself fighting grumpiness, here are five things you can do:

I’m not the lest bit grumpy you morons!
I am a happy and sometimes sleepy,

Only liberals get grumpy. They’re...
the most unfriendly, greedy, fascist, hate-filled, mean-spirited, envious, resentful, vicious, close-minded, violent, murdering, child-abusing, amoral, stupid, censoring, horse-punching, book-burning, ignorant, uneducated, unskilled, childish, prejudiced, racist, women-hating, man-hating, perverted, thieving, destructive, American-hating, Christian-hating, muslim-loving, communist, vote-rigging, vulgar, dirty, smelly, election-rejecting, regressive, restrictive, prohibitive, bed-wetting, poo-flinging, cop-killing, and scared little lying thumb-sucking idiots God has ever created.
THAT was a lie.
I can't begin to tell you how many times I commanded them,
"You're not allowed to grow up ?"
stinkin' little rebels, just like their old man.
So much to be thankful for this year. Its the first truly joyful Christmas in I don’t know when. How could anyone be grumpy this year? :-)
I have actually been a little grumpy lately for several probably insignificant reasons. Listening to some choir Christmas music all day seems to have helped. “Hallelujah” repeatedly over a few hours does serve to lighten any darkness.
Tiki Lounge Troupe’s Hawaiian Christmas is pretty good blues chaser.
Happy, happy, happy. Stupid author!
I’m Baptist, so of course church is cancelled on Sunday.
May the spirit of Christmas wash over you and renew your aching heart.
Prayers up for you from Montana.
Don’t make assumptions based on nothing.
I hate the holidays. I did work at 15 to get Goldwater elected. I voted for every republican president that ran after I was 21 (the voting age until after I was 21). I am a rock ribbed conservative....
......and I HATE the holidays except for Lionel O gauge trains and Jesus Christ. I’m fine the rest of the year.
Don’t make assumptions. If you dont have something knowledgeable to say it may be better to keep than to yourself. .
Pretty much the only thing that makes me grumpy over the holidays is those irritating forced cheerfulness people that accuse me of being grumpy. And I know exactly what to do about them, but I don’t really enjoy digging holes in the desert.

I’m actually really sad this year. It is the second Christmas since my husband has been gone.
“I lost my dog too this year. Haven’t been wiring because I got psoriasis over 90% of my body due to stress & I cannot even buy one present for my daughter this year...”
This is truly sad, and I will remember you in my prayers tonight.
*Sorry fellow FReepers just wanted to vent to someone because I truly feel all alone.*
Never apologize for ‘venting’ to the Freepers - they LOVE you!
December is Canadian whisky month for me, so #1 will do.

You just did. What a dork.
