I find your opinion interesting and must wonder if you approach life in general the same way. You say, "the same old crap every year", many of us would call that tradition. You say, "if you must try and insult...", as though you expect your comments to be offensive and then follow with condescending and insulting remarks yourself by accusing those who would respond of not have the ability to come up with an original thought and calling people "stupid sheep". If you don't like being insulted why do you try so hard to offend? Some find the Christmas season a time of belonging. I know many people who are not Christian that celebrate the holiday season. Enjoying the camaraderie, togetherness, friendship and yes, even the traditions of Christmas does not automatically make a person stupid. We are social creatures. Christmas is a social time. I would suspect that you see the glass half empty in general and I'm sorry for you. A little joy goes a long way. That which we seek, we usually find. And, if you're going to call everyone stupid, unoriginal, incapable, etc., perhaps you should present your own argument with a little dab of intelligence. You'll have much more credibility. A little punctuation, good grammar, maybe a little work on your sentence structure, and a little original thought on your part would help your argument along delightfully. Oh, and by the way, Merry Christmas.

I believe I can relate but not quite exactly how you were expecting.
As a child I loved the holiday spirit and counted down only two holidays: Christmas and April Fool's day (my birthday). I was the anti-scrooge and never understood how anyone could be like him.
Then I worked in retail.
Christmas bells. Christmas songs. Good old childhood memories of happy melodies turned into R & B, dance, and techno. I mean, who mixes Tchaikovsky's Nutcracker: part II act deux with dance music (the quiet song with the bells and chimes that many of us saw ren and stimpy run around before deck the halls came on.)
Christmas and techno? I can understand trans-siberian orchestra (great concerts by the way), but standing in the same room for 8 hours straight listening to this mockery is nonsense- and it starts in OCTOBER! For the love Rudolph, at least let me remember the 12 reindeers' names before Holloween comes around!
And gifts. It's all about gifts. I never get gifts and i never give them. Why? Because it's not your birthday, it's Jesus's or let's celebrate Santa day and hope to get some coal.
And now the cookie smell is gone from the mall. Even though pizza's my fav., I would like to smell some genuine jollyness and not Godiva or Mrs. Fields wrapped in plastic.
Now all of the fake Christmas has made both itself and the real deal a pain in the rear.
Go Scrooge!

I like Christmas but i do agree that Christmas songs are soooo... annoying.
But if you really hate it think of it like that: think that it is not a time for Christmas but a time for your birthday and everyone is preparing for your celebration. and that is why you will have days of work and everybody will be perfectly happy about it and more than that you will get some presents and really nice food, maybe some drinks as well. And probably you will meet with people you love (sometimes with people you don't love as well), but you will definitely have lots to gossip around about weird family members...
Remember not to listen to the radio, avoid television too and stay away from shops (they play the worst music ever)
Happy birthday

Yeah ok, so it gets old and depressing but i think we have christmas for the kids. They deserve a little time on the planet where magic is real and Santa exists. You'll probably tell me that all children are spoiled and get too much for christmas but that's not the case in the majority of homes. Kids need time to be naive and ignorant to the ways of the world we live in. You don't have to celebrate but don't ruin it for everyone else who loves the time with their families.
P.S. I hate that i sound like an advertisment for christmas but you did ask.............

Christmas is not about the birth of Jesus. When the Romans adopted Christianity as their official religion the most popular religion with the roman army was Mithrasism and the winter festival that the pagans celebrated coincided with the traditional birthday of Mithras. So it is Mithrases birthday we are celebrating. Incidental he died at Easter and was reborn 3 days later which is not an uncommon theme in a number of ancient religions

Christmas does get more irritating the older you get, but it's not a load of sh*t. You can stand back and say everyone is a lemming following everyone else, they're following a tradition. I see nothing wrong with that. It's good to bring a bit of cheer to bleak midwinter days. It's good to meet family and friends that you don't get to see at other times because you're too busy or you live far away from each other.

Well, you must be a very unhappy loser who has no love or happiness in your life to say such a thing. Even if it is the same things that happen every year. It is still a time celebrated all over the world when every one (or most excluding you) is happy. Please dont spoil other peoples christmas and keep your sad useless comment to yourself
Merry Christmas !!!!!!

personally i gotta agree with ya, christmas = a reason to spend loads of money on ungrateful people who dont give a toss about you unless you buy them the latest game/mp4 player/clothes/designer gear, so why bother with the prats, me and the missus have cancelled the traditional turkey bs and are doing it our way, a lazy day enjoying what we want for a change, a few drinks between ourselves and f*** the world, our door is closed to all for the duration, as for the shops i hope they lose loads of money this year, we provide our kids with stuff all year round, so theres nothing special about xmas gifts as far as were concerned, we just avoid the mad stampeding herds of idiots who want to get the gear to show how rich they are to all their little saddo buddies, as for christmas being the celebration of christs birth, well due to the changes in the calendar system ( julian or gregorian) they havent even got the right supposed date, they "think" he was born about the 22nd or 23rd of december not the 25th, just another convenient way of gettting a holiday off work i guess, but then again being a scroogy humbug, you'll be working hard cos you dont believe in christmas do you? so you wont be entitled to any time off .................LMFAO

Oh dear Wildcat,
its Christmas in three weeks,
you have no festive spirit
you said were all like sheep,
I hope when Santa calls on you,
with presents and good cheer,
he leaves a bag of humbugs,
and a empty can of beer.

Christmas was originally a midwinter pagan festival usually held in order to overcome the depressive feelings of trying to deal with the long cold winter. Maybe you need to celebrate the real festival-have a cool yule.
