If you don't hate Christmas, go away.

Kiki - you just gave me a reason to like Christmas!

Christmas Day itself. I have to get up early. I can't go out because everything is shut, there's only crap on the tv, not that I'd be able to watch anything I wanted anyway because someone else always wants to watch The Great Escape. Again. All my friends spend it with their families so I can't see them. I can't go and sit in a room by myself because I'm accused of "not making an effort". There's always a mess in the kitchen to clear up. There's massive amounts of alcohol but only my family to get drunk with and I've usually got a hideous hangover anyway. The person cooking is always p.issed off. I have to sit at the table and make conversation during dinner. There's endless f.ucking carols and s.hit Christmas songs. I eat too much because that's all there is to do. Need I go on?
It's a whole month of preperation, expense and stress for one day of complete boredom, gluttony and frustration. I'd rather spend the day in bed.

The only reason I could come up with for hating Christmas is the commercialism of it by the retail industry. I really don't want to see Santa and other stuff out in the stores along side Halloween merchandise in October. Oh yeah, My grandfather passed away between Christmas and New Years so that does make for a rather sad, teary holiday for me.
Try to remember what the season is all about in the first place, perhaps your hate will melt away like the Grinch's tiny heart did.

'Tis supposed to be the season to be jolly!! Yet there are thousands of people with no families and few friends, and these people feel so isolated because they don't feel part of the celebrations. Or, it may be that a person feels very sad because they've lost a loved one. Whatever ..... the idea that we SHOULD feel happy and having a wonderful time and we're not, makes those who feel miserable, even more miserable! It's a well known fact that the suicide rate soars at Christmas. I'm pleased to be now living in a country where Christmas isn't celebrated; I used the find the whole palavar such a sham!

I don't hate anything about Christmas specifically, but there is one thing that I hate about this whole holiday season. I am sick and tired of the religious right putting pressure on every major retailer to say "Merry Christmas" at the door. While I personally celebrate Christmas, it doesn't bother me to hear "Happy Holidays" because I know that there are people of other faiths celebrating other holidays. And let's face it... customer service ain't what it used to be. When's the last time you heard the cashier at Wal-Mart wish you a happy or merry anything?

I don't particularly hate it, but do think it's the time of year when people are most likely to fall into debt because they feel an obligation to buy presents for people.
Another reason would be that I struggle to get home on a night (from work) due to the number of people queuing to get to the shopping centre near where I live!

Months of relentless "Christmas is coming" in the media
Relentless adverts for overpriced rubbish, in order to turn children into greedy overexcited brats who'll nag you to death about buying stuff they'll get bored of by Boxing day. You've probably had to take out another loan to pay for everything.
The expectation to be happy, and if you aren't it's your own fault, even if you're old, lonely or ill.
Tasteless decorations around the town centres.
Toneless carol singers.
The umpteenth repeat of stuff on TV, most of it you got fed up of seeing when you were a kid. "Christmas" Specials of your most despised celebrities, displacing anything you'd normally want to watch.

Christmas parties with the boss.
Throwing Christmas parties for boring people you hate.
Spending too much money.
Traffic.
Shopping.
Fruit cake.
Frosty the effing snowman.
Writing Christmas cards
Cold weather.
People who say 'keep the Christ in Christmas'.
I could go on, but it's too depressing.
Merry Fu.cking Christmas!

Christmas shopping!!! Hate going into the shops and getting mauled and virtually beaten up by other shoppers who are trying to swipe that last item off the shelf before you.
If it's not screaming kids under your feet, it's people dawdling along with their trolleys and getting entirely in your way.
Plus you end up completely skint afterwards - just for one bloody day of the year!!!

It's all commercialised these days - everything at Christmas is about money. Kids now want really expensive presents and probably don't even know what Christmas means and the reason we hold it. All I got in my day was a jigsaw and i was happy!!! Lol........

My best reasons are
A: It's not really when Jesus Christ was born.
B: Greedy people have turned the holiday into a money making scam.
C: People who have no family often get depressed because it's been made into "the time" to be with family.
My best Christmas was when I spent it alone. I watched a movie, laid back, and was glad that I wasn't involved in all the bull that goes with it. Peace.
