Happy Easter to all you Christians out there. I’m not a big Easter person. It’s a religious holiday and I’m not religious. I hate eggs, I think Peeps are gross and ham is probably my least favorite meat to come from a pig. And to be honest, once the Easter Bunny stopped coming, I stopped caring. Sorry.

I’m not really a holiday person anyway. Sometimes, those festive freaks make me want to hurl. To me, holidays equal aggravation - everything is closed… too many places to go, ‘cuz you know, everyone wants a little piece of Angela on their holiday. Trying to decide between my boyfriend’s family, my mom’s family, my dad’s family… ugh.

And it’s SO MUCH MORE ANNOYING when your parents are divorced like mine. Instead of seeing mom and dad, you have to see mom THEN dad. Don’t even get me started on the first Thanksgiving my parents were divorced and 14-year-old Angela thought she had to eat full Thanksgiving dinners with each parent. If I had gotten too close to a sharp object, I would’ve popped like a balloon.

It was so much easier when I waited tables and holidays meant a busy day at the restaurant. I didn’t have to pick and choose where to go and risk hurting someone’s feelings. Nope, I just had to work.

I don’t hate all holidays, though. I LOVE the Fourth of July. Few things in life are better than a fireworks display set to the 1812 Overture. And I love Halloween too because, as I get older, I have fewer opportunities to just act like a kid. Halloween remains as one of those few moments in my stressed-out adult life. Thanksgiving rules because of football.

Now that I have offended just about everyone… my plans for today include staying in my jammies until 3 o’clock, head over to my mom’s for ravioli, and then back home and in my PJs by 5. Now, THAT’S a holiday.
