I'm not asking for scrooge moments, just the little things that drive you batty.
eg. I've just put my tree up and everything's got so much glitter on it I now look like one of the gay, glitter fairys that bounce around nightclubs on the weekend.
There's always bits you can't wash off and you end up spending Christmas looking like a Russian ice-dancer.
And in my town that's a risky thing to do.

Insane drivers, not nice people in shops (nearly say a fist fight between two women who didn't know each other over a third woman walking 15 feet away from her child in a buggy. The store was not crowded at all), and knowing that I have to take all the ornaments down sometime after Christmas!
So pulled in several different directions of distraction. To top it off, some bloke nearly backed an ancient Cortina (I I think it was into my toyota in a car park today. The silly git was looking for cars coming the OTHER way. I honked, he had enough nerve to look at me cockeyed!

I hate the fact that for about three weeks before and a week after Christmas I will not get much sleep, and this gets my grumpy head on. I usually spend Christmas morning in a bad mood, go back to sleep and come back a nicer person in the afternoon.
Also, I hate the crowds of people.I usually do my CHristmas shopping quite early, so trying to do ordinary food and clothes shopping is mightmarish, especially in a big place like Newcastle where I'm currently living.
But generally I don't mind Christmas much.

I hate that for a lot of people it's all about getting presents,as seen by all the what should I ask for for xmas questions posted up here. Plus the telly is always rubbish. Thank god I've moved from the Uk to NZ at least then I can go out and do something.
I really like giving great presents and watching people as they open them, especially kids.

I hate trying to do christmas shopping with all the crowds, and people pushing and shoving and old ladies and mothers pushing their trollies over everyones feet. Grrrr. Even thinking about having to go chrimbo shopping tomorrow is not a pleasant thought.
Christmas has also become very commercialised and is just an excuse for the shops, manufacturers to make even more money.
Saying that i love the food, drink, catching up with family and friends and giving presents. Merry x-mas

Putting Christmas dinner together is always stressful, but that's my own fault for volunteering AND making it elaborate!
I also hate that I have such a hard time finding time to go shopping. I have a full-time job and two small children, so it's either shop on lunch hour or take the kids with me, which is five times as difficult. I do as much of my shopping online as I can, but there's still things that need to be bought in stores.

I love Christmas, it's my favorite holiday. But a few things that annoy me are...feeling obligated to get someone a gift cuz you know they are getting you one, but not knowing what to get them.
And writing Christmas cards. It can be fun to pick them out but then writing them and trying to make them not sound like you wrote the same thing to everyone is hard.

The thousands of adverts advertising stupid kids toys on TV.
