1. Having to work retail on Black Friday, and you’re the only one on the register.
2. Trying to wrap gifts with your cat in the same room...
3. ...or running out of paper when you have one present left.
4. Dealing with the nightmare of untangling Christmas lights, only to find a broken bulb.
5. Spending weeks tracking down the year's hottest toy for your kid, only to have someone else give it to him before you can...
6. ...or getting them the electronic toy they’ve been begging for and forgetting the batteries.
7. The airport losing your luggage.
8. Realizing you didn't buy a present for your sister’s new boyfriend...
9. …and constantly being asked about your relationship status — like, why you’re single, or when you and your boyfriend will be taking “the next step.”
10. Burning your ENTIRE batch of cookies. Repeatedly.
11. And the worst thing of them all — getting coal in your stocking!
