How bad are your holidays this year? (lemm.ee)

Not looking for pity. But if you are having an awful December holiday, you aren't alone. This may be a chance to unload. I'll start.

My apt was flooded with rain 4 days ago, at ground level. For 4 days, my studio apt, carpet has been soaking wet, footsteps squishing, like stepping in a puddle. Property management wont do anything, hope I can talk sense into them before the floorboards rot and cave in.

You? It's OK, you're not alone.

November was probably my worst month for holidays.

Expectation on Thanksgiving: Go to Grand Island in New York to visit Thanksgiving with friends.

Reality on Thanksgiving: Watch as it crumbles apart because of the car bombing everyone was sure was a terrorist attack, be demoralized out of not going due to that, and be stuck at home surrounded by a blizzard and no people for miles because their holiday wasn't cancelled.
