🎄 I’m Here Only for Food. Not People. The Introvert’s Christmas Manifesto

Let’s get one thing straight: Christmas isn’t about joy, love, or festive connection.
It’s about food.
Everything else is optional.
Especially the people part.

If you're the type who shows up to a holiday gathering with the emotional energy of a sleepy cat and the strategic focus of a military general scanning the buffet — welcome. You are among your people (ironically… but at a safe distance).

December is a battlefield, and introverts know it best.
You don’t walk into a party; you survey the territory:

Where’s the food table?
Where’s the nearest exit?
Where can you stand without attracting conversation?
And how many minutes until you can politely disappear?

You’re not anti-festive.
You’re just pro-sanity.

And honestly, the only reason you agreed to attend was because someone whispered the magic words:
“There will be snacks.”

Small talk? No thanks.
Group games? Keep them away.
The “so what’s new with you?” interrogation? Blocked and deleted.

But show you a table with mini quiches, gingerbread cookies, and that one aunt who always overfeeds everyone — you’re suddenly the happiest elf in the room.
Quiet. Focused. In your natural habitat.

Here’s the truth nobody admits:
Introverts carry Christmas on their backs.
Not socially — that part is for the extroverts sweating through their ugly sweaters.
We carry it emotionally… by refusing to cause scenes, avoiding drama, and ensuring the dessert tray is respected.

So this year, let’s make it clear:
If you see us at a party, we are not there for networking, bonding, or participating.
We are there for lasagna.
We are there for potatoes.
We are there for the gingerbread shaped like little men who are somehow judging our life choices.

And we’re absolutely wearing the only honest piece of clothing in the room — the SayLess Christmas sweatshirt that says:
“I’m Here Only for Food. Not People.”

It’s more than a hoodie.
It’s a boundary.
It’s a lifestyle.
It’s a public service announcement.
