  Overworked, overburdened, overstrained, inflation-addled working parents with 3 children (two have RSV, maskless) driving erratically through town in a Bad Decisions Mobile, on which they owe tens of thousands of dollars, and that they're paying $370 for in monthly insurance premiums (state minimums only), their entire lives ONE second away from completely unraveling, BARELY holding it together through the rest of the year by getting excited for the holiday season, where they can watch social media celebrities' "tastefully" and "thoughtfully" put together Christmas-inspired decorations, outfits or food. 
  Because bad decisions is all they've ever known, and because they've been holding it together all year in anticipation of their Christmas time off vacation, they join the millions of Americans attempting to take air travel in a narrow, narrow window of peak season craziness right as an intense storm shuts everything down throughout the country. 
  Do you think these overstressed, credit-addled, inflation-ridden barely-making-ends-meet parents with multiple coughing, sick and expensive young children running around screaming will just smile and say, "understandable, I'll just wait here quietly for 13 hours" as their only vacation (the one they had put all their faith in to be that perfect Hallmark winter wonderland Christmas story) slowly evaporates in front of their eyes?
  I'm impressed we don't see MORE people melting down and losing their cool

  Yea. I bet there is a few people that are going to be spending the night in jail after freaking the fuck out that their christmas will be ruined. >
  
  I will never understand people who get so fucking worked when an annual holiday isn’t perfect.  Like, my dad’s in the fucking hospital.  He’s going to be through Christmas.  And, well, that sucks, but it’s also just one particular day, he’s enjoyed 74 of them and counting, and if this one isn’t a god damn Hallmark special, he’s not too butthurt about that and neither is anyone else.  He’s mostly just glad to be alive.  So yes, it’s a bummer for those whose plans aren’t working out, but can we be adults about this?
