I hate shopping
I hate commercialization
I hate christmas music
I hate people that say "happy holidays" instead of "merry christmas"
I hate people that say merry christmas even more
I hate holiday movies
I really hate "Its a Wonderful Life"
I hate putting up the tree.
I hate the fact that people dislike my hatred of christmas.
I hate travelling
I hate being around a large group of relatives
I hate feeling obligated
I hate smiling children yammering about Christmas
I hate people who hate Christmas because I am pretty sure I hate it more


I would willingly give up any and all rights to presents if I could only exclude myself from the whole monstrosity that is Christmas. There are not words strong enough to voice my absolute contempt and dislike of the holiday. I f[b][/b]ucking hate Christmas. I am actually thinking of converting off my lofty aethistic laurels and joining some made up religion like Jehovah Witness's in order to have a reason behind not celebrating it.

just go around pointing out that what it's really a celebration about is the winter solstice and nothing to do with the birth of some jewish bloke who incedently if he was born it would have been at a totally different time of year.

Irritates the shit out of the Christian community.

Yea, I hate overly sappy people as well. And even my priest admits that winter solstice was a convienent place to "guestimate" Jesus's (that jewish bloke) birth.

Revisionist history ftw?!

I don't hate Jesus, and I don't grudge the reasons behinid co-opting the date for his birthday.

I think my main grudge is that there is no culturally acceptable way to opt out of the entire thing. If I dislike easter I just do my own thing and carry on as usual and no one could GARA. Same with Halloween, New Years, or any national holiday. I just keep on trucking and mind my own business and life is good.

With Christmas I am expected to participate, I am expected to like it, I am expected to grit my teeth and bear it. It fu[b][/b]cking irks me to no end.

There are a few things I dislike about holidays, nothing so noble as abhoring the "commercialisation," and nothing so practical as a dislike for travel or obligation.

I just don't like people telling me what days should be special to me. "January 1, 12:15 a.m., note to self: feel spirited." I have my own personal holidays.

Why do it then?

Just say look i am not christian and i'm not a druid i have no reason to celebrate, fuck off and come back when it's your ( Or my) birthday.

Carol singers get extremely short shift if they knock at MY door.

"When did you last go to Church of you own accord? what was that? never? well **** off and bother someone who gives a fuck then"

Lurk alot, post not so much Allegory. Besides, only so many times you can read another "omg server down" or "wow vs (game)" thread before you get sick of it all and look for more interesting things. The Asylum sure as hell does that :D

It doesn't irritate me for the "Ha! It's not REALLY the day of the birth of Jesus" angle. It just annoys me because everyone says it as if they're party to some piece of esoteric trivia instead of something that's been common knowledge for the last couple decades and is the topic of a kajillion magazine articles, History/A&E/PBS specials, books, etc etc.

In other shocking news, the Vikings landed on North America before Columbus!!! Smiley: eek

It is unable to grow in its current broken state.

Pity me, motherfu[i][/i]ckers.

Yeah I don't favor christmas either. Like every holiday it's got it's faults but christmas is more of a stress for me mainly because of other people. I like Halloween best, its also close to my daughter's and my birthday. I prefer going hunting for pine cones outside to buying tinsel and painted plastic crap.

Good stuff:
  • baking is not torture due to the climate. we do gingerbread men 'cause they're easy
  • a good time of year to clean out the closets because the garbage guys are used to and wont complain about extra junk
  • people are giving away their old stuff cause they got this year's new and improved one
  • if you live in an university town the streets are trafficless
  • after xmas sales
  • vacation time at a time of year when you don't have to mow the lawn
  • people are a bit less rude than other times

    • Bad stuff (your list plus):
  • taking down the tree
  • being expected to cook a huge meal, or worse a "traditional" meal
  • it's winter so traveling is more dangerous than usual
  • finding room for the new stuff
  • other people's kids acting like they've never seen something new and god forbid WTH is sharing
  • jealousy because one gets something different than the other
  • people saying what'd ya get (we have a one or two gift max policy plus cash)
  • bagging up all the damned packaging
  • being forced to keep/use stuff I dislike because of "tradition" (why can't I just box them up and give them as a gift?)
  • people's feelings being hurt because I didn't spend 15$ on stamps and another 20$ on cards to send
  • people always prefer storebought to handcrafted unless it was bought in a store!

    Whiney fuc[/b]ks. You don't like buying presents for everyone? Stop doing it! My family got cards this year, and that's only because my wife sent them out. Before that they didn't get shi[b]t.

    Don't like cooking a big meal? Order a pizza. Hate carolers? Buy a pellet gun. Despise all the commercialization associated with the seaon? Build yourself a bomb shelter and live in it for 3 months. Bunch of humbug mother fuc[b][/b]kers. Smiley: oyvey

    If you really want to discourage Christmas spirit, just kill yourself. You'll most likely put a damper on the season for at least 2 people.
