The Grinch has absolutely nothing on Larry David, who– you’re not going to think this– believes the vacations are quite, quite, quite dreadful.
The 74- year-old star and author, whose Curb Your Enthusiasm character hilariously dismisses nearly whatever and whose previous comedy Seinfeld notoriously highlighted the nonreligious custom of Festivus “for the rest of us,” turned his own “airing of the grievances” into an essay for previous Vanity Fair Editor- in-Chief Graydon Carter‘s digital weekly Air Mail, released on Saturday,Dec 18.
In the piece, entitled, “A Very Larry David Christmas,” David composed that he is “filled with dread at the prospect of close social encounters with what seemed like hundreds of relatives” on Christmas Day.
“I’m a creature of habit and can’t tolerate anything that throws me off my normal routine,” he stated. “That’s why I detest all holidays, but none as much as Christmas.”
David dissed the vacation music, motion pictures and whatever to do with the presents–“thinking about them, shopping for them (never without resentment), and the attendant pile of garbage that accumulates from opening them.” He likewise discounted the “barrage” of greetings of “Merry Christmas” and “Happy holidays” that he stated “must be returned like unwanted ‘I love you’s.'”
