what do you think of people who hates Christmas?

Question

people who would cringe when carols are being played or sung, people who feels lost when people talks about christmas preparations, people who thinks that a person next to him/her is weird because he/she is squealing with delight and excitement for christmas, people who would block out the thoughts of christmas and who would deny the fact that it's time to celebrate, people who would choose to drink himself/herself to sleep than to stay awake for the celebration. do you know of one? are you one of them?

Answer 1

Christamas time is family time,i think these people act like they hate christamas but are really wishing they had someone special to share it with... either that or the idea of buying everyone gifts and spending the $$$ makes them cringe,so they dont like the holiday as a whole... go give some one who says humbug a hug!!! mabye they need one... or you could just make them more angry... oh well heck its christamas!!!!

Answer 2

People who hate christmas 'and anything to do with it', have
NO sense of being, which means they are probably very miserable indeed, and often times these people are also
egotistical 'know-it-alls'.
They don't have to believe in christianity to celebrate christmas. There's lots of people who just like the idea of decorating and gift giving at christmas time.
But either way, people who hate christmas probably hate life in general.
I can say this with some accuracy because I know a person just like this, and he is probably the most moody, ungrateful, and
miserable person I've ever known..
And it is a 'very' rare thing to see him smile..

Answer 3

I don't hate Christmas, but it pretty much ruined my youth. Just a little. When ur a kid, you kinda want your birthday to be about you. Instead, it becomes about going to a 3hr midnight mass, not having a birthday party, and getting one gift for your birthday and christmas because everyone is so broke. When you turn 21, you don't get the chance to celebrate your legal right to drink, because every place is closed.

I used to get excited, but now I'm just, like, eh, whatever. At least I get the day off. A lot of people have to work on their birthdays.

Answer 4

Jesus never celebrated Christmas. I rather get excited about Superbowl.

M’Clintock and Strong’s Cyclopædia says: “The observance of Christmas is not of divine appointment, nor is it of N[ew] T[estament] origin. The day of Christ’s birth cannot be ascertained from the N[ew] T[estament], or, indeed, from any other source.”—(New York, 1871), Vol. II, p. 276.

Luke 2:8-11 shows that shepherds were in the fields at night at the time of Jesus’ birth. The book Daily Life in the Time of Jesus states: “The flocks . . . passed the winter under cover; and from this alone it may be seen that the traditional date for Christmas, in the winter, is unlikely to be right, since the Gospel says that the shepherds were in the fields.”—(New York, 1962), Henri Daniel-Rops, p. 228.

The Encyclopedia Americana informs us: “The reason for establishing December 25 as Christmas is somewhat obscure, but it is usually held that the day was chosen to correspond to pagan festivals that took place around the time of the winter solstice, when the days begin to lengthen, to celebrate the ‘rebirth of the sun.’ . . . The Roman Saturnalia (a festival dedicated to Saturn, the god of agriculture, and to the renewed power of the sun), also took place at this time, and some Christmas customs are thought to be rooted in this ancient pagan celebration.”—(1977), Vol. 6, p. 666.

The New Catholic Encyclopedia acknowledges: “The date of Christ’s birth is not known. The Gospels indicate neither the day nor the month . . . According to the hypothesis suggested by H. Usener . . . and accepted by most scholars today, the birth of Christ was assigned the date of the winter solstice (December 25 in the Julian calendar, January 6 in the Egyptian), because on this day, as the sun began its return to northern skies, the pagan devotees of Mithra celebrated the dies natalis Solis Invicti (birthday of the invincible sun). On Dec. 25, 274, Aurelian had proclaimed the sun-god principal patron of the empire and dedicated a temple to him in the Campus Martius. Christmas originated at a time when the cult of the sun was particularly strong at Rome.”—(1967), Vol. III, p. 656.

Answer 5

Have You ever lost a loved one and then been resentful about others enjoying themselves whilst You are not? Christmas is not a good time for some of us. But We don't normally ruin it for You.
Merry Christmas!

Answer 6

They definitely have a right to their opinions. I don't think it's right that we as a society tend to call such people "grinches" or "scrooges" when there probably are valid, though perhaps not true, reasons why they feel the way they do. So I say love them. Maybe they'll come around one of these Christmases.

Answer 7

I think that they have sorry, pathetic lives and should be pittied. They have over thought the whole gift buying/giving thing and are way too selfish to think of the joy they could be giving others, they only think of themselves. If it was the loss of a loved one then their loved one would be sorely disappointed in how they have become miserable, bitter individuals and they maybe should start thinking of others for once in their lives.

I wish the Christmas haters especially a very Merry Christmas and the Happiest of New Year's.

Answer 8

There could be a lot of reasons for that.
Some have lost loved ones during this time of year and the whole concept might make them incredibly sad.

Answer 9

I think they should keep their grouchiness to themselves. If they can't enjoy themselves, they shouldn't try to rob others of their joy. Like Mom said "If you can't say anything nice, don't say anything at all."

I also think people who hate Christmas should stay out of the "Christmas" section on yahoo answers, if they know they're only here to be antagonistic. (You know who you are.)

Answer 10

smart, because Christmas it too commercialized and it takes the fun and joy out of it.
