Commercialization and the disregard for the reason of Christmas. Christmas is the Christians' event of celebrating the birth of Christ. Without that tradition there would be no Christmas. If Christians want to use that day to have their observed celebration then let them have it.
This tradition has been a part of many countries' culture for centuries. In the past few decades the Christians' tradition has come under irrational attack. Let them have their holiday and stop buggering traditions.
Marketing geniuses have morphed Christmas into a guilt-filled debt massing quagmire. Not only does this detract from the tradition of the event, but it further contributes to peoples' burdens of overextended credit cards and stressing over what present to get whom.
Life does not need to be as complex and stressful as what we allow it to be.

The stress of "what to get for everyone" which we have stopped this year and come to an agreement between myself and my hubby that we will just buy a very small thing to open on Christmas day and then go out in the sales and treat ourselves after Christmas.

That I can never be with all of my family.... For this once I thought I was going to be, at least with both my mum and my boyfriends family for the lunch thing, but It looks like it wont be happening... I'm pretty upset about it really.... :(
I would really love it if my parents spent another Christmas together just as friends like they did in the old days to keep the peace... But I know that will never happen, but I can dream at least!

what I like the least about Christmas is that stores start putting up the Christmas stuff during the Halloween season!

While I love getting to see family, I wish I didn't have to drive so long to get to them! The traveling is what I like least about Christmas, but it's always worth it.

It's depressing for those of us with a dysfunctional family. Lack of family. And for us who don't talk to our family for various reasons.
Christmas brings back good memories of being a child and being blind to how dysfunctional and generally f----- up your family is. Which saddens you to think that while others are being merry with their families you're at home spending time with your best friend who's also depressed because in his case his mother passed away and his father is a deadbeat.
Christmas is hard for those of us without family to spend it with.
But at the same time I always try to look at everything from a "hey it could be worst" perspective. I do have a fiance and a daugther so that's my real family now.

the fact that it takes 3 weeks to buy all the gifts, wrap them and make everything perfect and 20 seconds for them to all be opened and the wrapping paper to be everywhere. Oh, and the people who get offended by the holiday. They need to get thier heads out of thier butts!
