I won't be on for the next few days so I just wanted to wish everyone Merry Christmas and hope you all have a lovely time. Enjoy the food, Don't eat too much cake and take care with all the presents you get.
So... My athiest brother, who lives two miles away, and who I haven't seen in three months, decided to grace us with his presence for the two minutes it took him to pick up the Christmas presents for my niece. As he was leaving, he turned to my very religious mother and said, with a great deal of sarcasm, "Merry X-mas." He may be my brother, but he's also a total dick.
Welp, half of the Christmas presents I ordered from Amazon won't be here by Christmas, when they were guaranteed* to be here today and were ordered ten days ago. After a bunch of phone calls, I found out that this is happening to quite a few thousands of people because UPS is having issues or something. Then I was informed that UPS would neither take my call or refund/credit any package scheduled between Dec. 11-26. So yeah...UPS ruined Christmas.
Don't they all live in igloos? And keep polar bears for pets? It snows 24 hours a day, every day of the year.
