The "I Hate Christmas" thread!

*stands up*

Hi, my name is Al and I hate Christmas!

It has nothing to do with religion or my upbringing. I do not come from a long line of Christmas haters or tree huggers that hate to see all the dead trees lined up along the streets in the weeks that follow.

I did not have a bad Christmas experience as a child that may have scarred me for life. Didn't walk in and discover that Santa was really daddy. Never ate a bad turkey or been fondled by an elf.

Just don't care for Christmas.

The stupid stores start putting out the decor too early, the songs stick in your head, everyone wants more gifts, no one is ever happy with them, and the people that re-gift are too stupid to look INSIDE the damned SnackMaster to make sure there isn't a card in there, too, thus allowing the second-round receiver to know just how much thought you actually put into the gift. Annoyed

And lastly, I really really hate bellringers. I give 'em money and have no problem with that. But seriously, when you weigh 280 lbs, wearing a freakin' bright red suit and a cheesy beard and you're blocking the entrance to whatever store I'm trying to enter .... do you really need a bell to make me notice you???? Huh

Not a hater, but it does nothing for me (wrong religion laugh out loud).

Though I disagree with you about the trees, we love to put up a tree and to decorate it.

I hate Halloween. It has to be the most stupid inane reason to have a holiday. It borders on winter and most kids are unlucky enough to live in snow country which requires wearing a jacket over their costume anyway. Are they seriously trying to scare anyone by wearing a fairy princess costume or having a baby dressed in a pea pod? And the begging! What the hell is that about? Saying Trick Or Treat should not exonerate a kid from being arrested for extortion! That little blurb is probably what starts most on their seedy tracts in life. Future inmates one and all! The fact that their parents will turn around and rob them of candy while they sleep just adds to the aura of duplicity. Can we talk about the sheer numbers of food product that has gone to waste by carving pumpkins? Do most people scoop out the insides to make pies or breads with? I don't think so. There are starving people who would LOVE a pumpkin to cook. I'm telling Africa on all of you! Mad Not to mention it's the start of cold and flu season and you know damn well that little Johnny and Susie are mouth breathing under those Casper and Jasmine masks, and stickin' their germ riddled hands into your candy dish because the 'rents couldn't find it within themselves to justify the expense of those costumes on two kids staying home sick.

I hate Halloween. If people want to dress up and be scary they should take it to England, dress like Druids and form a circle 'round Stonehenge.
