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

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?
Luckily Ramadan and Hannukah are not as commercialized, so we don't have to hate them yet. Just give it time... Thumbup

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.

Looks at Peachyum's avatar and thinks she succumbed to peer pressure and changed her avatar to a Halloween themed one...

I'm glad you mentioned the avi thing. I was hoping some talented SD'er could "creep up" Alice in Wonderland over there.
Where is that zombify yourself link at when you really need it? Oh, right here [zombify-yourself.net].

Says the guy without an avatar. laugh out loud

The songs get to me the most. Not at first. But come the end of December, I'm ready to go postal if I hear Frosty the Snowman or Little Drummer Boy again.
And years ago, one store here had a cellist playing out front where the bell ringers normally are. That was awesome.

I used to enjoy Christmas, even though I'm an agnostic. I liked the rituals. Putting up the tree (artificial), making cookies, Christmas dinner, presents and yes, even some Christmas music. But then Christmas started coming earlier every year. It used to be that you didn't start decorating for Christmas until the day after Thanksgiving. Now you see stuff in the stores in August, farking August! And there's year round Christmas stores! It's no longer a special season, it's just one giant mass merchandising orgy with some guy in a beard and robes stuck in the corner to legitimatize the whole thing.Ranting

In protest, I gave away my tree and quit watching Christmas specials. Nono2

I hate Christmas too, but I probably hate Halloween more. As others have stated the commercialization of Christmas is way over the top nowadays. I'm not religious either so I don't care about that part of it. And buying gifts for family is always a painful task, no one ever needs anything nor wants useless crap. Halloween is just pointless in every aspect, for some reason I never liked Halloween even when I was younger.

I hate the commercialization of everything!! Everything is over commercialized and overdone. Nothing is made to last and everything is disposable. Sick we are all drowning in a sea of overindulgence. Crazy
