huge waste of time and energy and cause of stress and anxiety for 99% of people but everyone feels pressured to do it because everyone else does and “this is how we have always done it”.

Taking a full day (or multiple days!!!) to prep and get food ready to sit down and eat for 20 minutes and then be left with a mountain of dishes to clean up is honestly the worst way to spend a holiday.

I stand ready to defend my position.
