People have been saying Merry Christmas so much more since Trump was elected.

It really picked up after Thanksgiving and I fully expect it to peak in the next two weeks.

Maybe he does keep his campaign promises?

When I did get my 2nd Covid shot…..the pharmacist, a man, said that to me after he gave me the shot and when I was leaving the area. Damn, I just hate that phrase. 🤬 🤬 🤬

Indeed just about every time a Trump voter tries to invade my life I calmly say fuck you to them. I am done with Republicans. They can stay out of my lane.

tRump brings out the worst in me.

Joe kept me calmer and more sane. Now, the gloves are off once again.

But on another note, not spending a dime this Christmas. Reading books instead and giving out my old library to family.

As I was finishing up with the customer and thanking her for her business, I wished her “Happy Holidays” and she responded with “thanks, and Merry Christmas to you. I guess I can say that now”. As it was a customer, it took every fiber of my being to not respond to her with “you’ve never NOT been able to say it moron!” But as sweetly as I could I just said “ that must be such a great feeling!” Man, I just can’t with these people.
