The 2011 "I hate Christmas, Bah Humbug" thread

[james_tigerwoods]

While I'm no religious nut, I find the whole commercialisation of the festivities very irritating and the fact that it's rammed down your throat at every given opportunity at an early point of the year is really annoying.

Merry Christmas - buy yourself a couch. Why? Why am I more likely to buy a fking settee in December than any other time of year?

Check out this toy, it's awesome [hypno-toad] You NEED this toy [/hypno-toad] - it's really won't be in the January sales for half price.

Check out this useless, moronic, gadget that is just a WASTE OF fkING MONEY - a mini desk hoover? A humorous Homer Simpson tie - no, it's not humorous at all, it's just st.

Look at this branded, "funky" whatever the hell it is for the month - buy it for someone who will open the present and say "thanks" while whispering "why the fk did you spend money on this st when I would rather you just give me the money or buy me some beer.

Christmas songs in November? Every time I hear them in a shop, I just want to yell, scream, throw things, etc.

I enjoy Christmas day with my immediate family, but the rest of it can just fk off....

I've just remembered how much I hate this lead up and how angry it makes me

Couldn't agree more.

Glad I'm working around Xmas, on the day itself I'll drink myself into submission.

I have just found out that i am working the 24th, 25th and 26th. so that equates to the 3 quietest days of the year but for double pay, that is definitely the only way to get a smile on my face for xmas.

That's the small part that's right. But we can do that any day of the year.

My old man died on Xmas Eve 8 years ago when I was 23.

Safe to say Xmas isn't the same and I just wish it would go away. Worst thing is feeling like a killjoy as everyone else is so 'seasonally jolly'.

Maybe it'll change when the kids come along.

I like cycling, but half the fun of getting something new for that is researching, finding the best thing for the job, and getting a good deal on the price somewhere.

I like cars, but I don't want an autobiography from someone to do with cars, or another Top Gear spin off, merchandising, money grabbing piece of st.

It's not that I'm ungrateful, I just wish people would spend their hard earned money on stuff they want for themselves, so I can too.

I completely agree with this. Why does everyone waste their money buying others tat that is not needed all becuase its jeebus's birthday.

Cool, I got quoted!

One good reason I'm looking forward to having kids is that I can tell people not to bother buying me anything any more, and they might just listen.

(The downside is of course that we will have to buy something for their ugly little snot, puke and st machines.)

At least I won't get another Top Gear novelty bubble bath in the shape of the Stig. (Who takes a bath these days?)

A rant

can't see how all this impacts on you at all tbh.

No. I know what you mean. I was wound up about it at the time I think!

My first Xmas card arrived today. My wife is furious.

Still, things don't kick off for me until next week's office Xmas party. It might be time for a sickie.

Never let the mistress send cards to your home, trap for young players there.
