Holiday Season Turn-Offs

The holiday season–Thanksgiving through New Year’s–is supposed to be a fun festive time full of get togethers with family and friends but there are apparently some things that take the “jolly” out of “A Holly Jolly Christmas”. Consumer Reports conducted a poll to find out what we dread the most during the holidays and the number one response was–surprise, surprise–”crowds and long lines” at 68%. What other things have us saying,
“Bah, humbug”?
