...whether I'm ready for Christmas.
I have no polite answer to give for that question.
It's none of your business
...how much money I've spent
...who I spent it on
...what I bought
...where I bought it
...if I'm having people over
...what's for dinner
...and especially
........whether it's even my holiday!
It's one of the nosiest, rudest and most infuriating questions I've ever heard and I have no answer for it, unless you want a blank stare (on a good day) or a cold glare with the response, "It's not my holiday." This question most often comes from a complete stranger and has come into vogue only in the past ten years or so.
How would you like it if I asked, "Are you ready for your vasectomy?" or, "Are you ready for your butt lift?"
Questions require answers. Statements do not. Tell me "Merry Christmas" and I will respond, "Back at'cha" or "You, too" or some such. But stop asking invasive questions of complete strangers.
Thank you.
