I also hate wrapping presents.
I was in a good mood. I was done my shopping, I was home, I got myself a new book, I called my family had a good chat, I got to play WoW got lvl 27 (race to 60 with Neph's brother). My girlfriend took advantage of my un-holiday spirit and gave me the choice of a christmas movie or a girlie movie knowing that there was no way I was going with the christmas movie.
Then I went to wrap presents and I had the urge to just give them to people unwrapped in the bag from the store I got them at.
Why not? Good Lord, you like making life difficult. This guy I know spends every Christmas alone, for many of the reasons listed by you. One Christmas he just decided not to do it anymore. At first we felt sorry for him because he's just a generally unhappy individual and we worried about him, but now we barely spare him a thought. He goes on trips or spends it alone, and no one's upset. He's happier doing what he wants, and it's $50 no one is spending. Fantastic.
You know what I hate? People who whine about sh[i][/i]it they don't need to worry about. If you hate sucking it up and celebrating Christmas, quit it. Use your famous surliness to tell anyone who guilts you to STFU and end of story.
Oh, and Merry Christmas, you conformist jellyfish.
