The "I Hate Christmas" thread!

Take that, Grinch!

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! 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.

I LOVE halloween. DW dislikes halloween...

DW LOVES chirstmas. I am impartial.

I like christmas because it's the one time of the year that all my family can get together from their different places around the country, the actual holiday is just a commercial mess. I'll get DW and DKids presents whenever I darn well please, not when the store wants to sell me a stupid animatronic lit up reindeer that looks exactly like a real reindeer in my yard....

I like decorating with things that people know are fake, like dead people.

Oh, and I think there's a fake tree and some lights up there, too, but meh ... who cares about that.

... Says the gal who succumbed to peer pressure and changed her avatar to ... horror of horrors... Alice in Wonderland. Speaking of Wonderland, I just love the twinkling lights of Christmas gleaming off of freshly falling snow. Seeing the little trail of paw prints of deer, squirrels and rabbits going about their foraging. Children dream pleasantly of presents and Santa, of family getting together, and the aromas of baked pies.

But I digress. You were saying... ?

I'm gonna have to smack you all with my farking Christmas cheer.

Why Is it that non Christians or people that hate explicitly rant about their feelings about something like religion that easily Could hurt others feelings. Dont you have any respect for the other members on a public diverse forum?

Should i start making threads saying i hate ramadan and hannukah?

I love Halloween, too.

I'm glad you mentioned the avi thing. I was hoping some talented SD'er could "creep up" Alice in Wonderland over there.

And "children dream pleasantly of presents and Santa"? What children are these that you speak of?

All I ever hear is "I want this, I want that, I didn't ask for that, Why did Grandma give me socks?" And my personal favorite, "Crap! We forgot mom's birthday ... again!"
