Is anyone else longing for the holidays?

Not at all OP. Not at all.

I am fearing the hardest Christmas of my entire life.

Yes absolutely 🥰 hoping for an alleviation of Covid talk and whatever new semblance of normal we are now all in

No, I find it all tiring/tiresome

I sure as fuck am. I get so many side-eyes when I tell people I hate summer. Most days are just too hot to go outside and do anything and the humidity makes it even more unbearable. Give me cooler weather, colored leaves, the smell of fire, scary movies, cranberry sauce and Christmas music!

YES, R4!

Your life is as good as a Madonna song: Holiday!

Today was the last day for the next two weeks that it will be under 90*. It was breezy and in the mid-70s. I had the windows all open, listening to the birds tweet.

So tired of being held hostage by extreme weather.

No, I'm not. The Fall will be here soon enough. For now, it's time to enjoy Summer.

I live just north of NYC and I hate hot weather and LOATH Hot/Humid weather. That's the weather one has to endure from generally from mid June until late August.

Fall through Christmas was already my favorite time of year. Now I really live for the cold weather, when I don't have to hear my neighbors' damn Corazon music. Summer is unbearably noisy now with leafblowers and house-shaking bass all the time. All I want is peace and quiet!

I’m not especially crazy about the holidays…I mean, they’re fine I guess, but it’s the weather I love. I hate the summer.

I’m enjoying summer in California. It’s perfect beach weather today. But it was oppressive in Georgia. The humidity just makes it miserable out there, and I disliked that the sunset happened around 8:30 pm or so.

That said, I was in a shitty situation out there that obscures my view of eastern seaboard summers.

NYC can be just as hot and humid, and I loved summers out there.

I'm turning 49 in late October and am not longing for that, but if I live through that I'm planning a trip to NYC between Thanksgiving and Christmas, so that is something to look forward to.

R13- Where do you live?

Our summer hasn't begun yet. I've been freezing my ass off in the PNW.

I'm so with you R4. There's something about those first Fall crisp days and chilly nights that appeals so much to me. I always loved the holidays as a kid. Not that my childhood was so perfect but something must've stuck with me. I'm going to try to enjoy this year's holidays. Until then, I am going to make the most of this hot yet rainy as hell summer here in Virginia.

I dread summer and look forward to fall and the holiday season. I used to not like the holiday season, but it’s a relief after the summer.

I shopped all spring so that I can hunker down this summer and not have to leave the house too much.

I do like summer fruits, though.

R17- Fire Island is filled with summer FRUITS 🍒🍓🍎🍍🍌 from June to August.

OP, why not move to a climate that better suits you year round instead of wishing a quarter of your life away each year?

It’s been hot as fuck in Denver. This city is a shithole.

I am. My favourite time of year is September-January. Of course Kate winter always gets depressing.

What's "Kate winter," R21?

A Hallmark movie, Rose.

It’s Kate Winslet

I was over the warm weather Memorial Day weekend.

No, OP. I have come to fucking LOATHE the holidays. So much stress. So many OBLIGATIONS.

When my parents finally pass, I will stop all observance of Christmas. Completely. I've already stopped all observance of Thanksgiving (it's just another day, just another week, I do nothing special, I don't travel or visit with anyone... I do have most of the week off from work, so I just kick back and Netflix & Xbox).

[quote]Give me cooler weather, colored leaves,

Oh, I’ve got my eye on you, fella!

so a fattie can't wait until the holidays when everyone expects them to eat. shocking.

I’m with you, OP.

100% with you on everything you posted.

Can't wait to cradle my mug again.

Pumpkin spice!!

R31: I wish I had something to cradle.

R27=Frieda Claxton

Eat shit Christmas in June freak.

Don’t rush the summer away, OP. July and August are special too.

I'm enjoying summer. The only months I dislike are January, February and (to a lesser extent) March. Once Easter approaches, things start to pick up.

I dont like summer, AT ALL. Peak hurricane season is also approaching so summer can kiss my ass.

It's the most wonderful time of the year.

I can bear it, but summer isn't my favorite. Too humid here.

I love Autumn the most. It's just a little brisk, not freezing fucking cold, I love the smell of woodsmoke from the fireplaces, the leaves changing color, and all the mosquitoes dying off. If there's somewhere in the world where it's like a crisp Autumn day most of the year, let me know, I want to go to there.

Omg R40.

I love everything about what you wrote.

My favorite thing is the soft light of Fall.

I hate the harsh sun of Summer.

This thread is 100% pure fat Frau.

R42 is 100% fat CUNT!

R1 why the hardest? What’s up?

We were diagnosed with Covid in December 2020 & almost bought the farm, in agony, completely missing the holidays, which we love. In March, we finally moved out of LA after 42 years to the mountain, in a gated community, still in SoCal with four seasons. This past holiday season we were treated one night to Christmas Carolers standing in the snow & ice outside our home--that put the ribbon on a great Christmas season, & we can hardly wait for this next one! The tree goes up at Thanksgiving & stays up until Russian Orthodox New Years . . .

Only for the heat relief, but now that fire season extends to October, it’s hard to get excited. I do love Christmas though.
