The 2011 "I hate Christmas, Bah Humbug" thread
Discussion
Thought I was coming round to the idea of liking Christmas but my kids are doing my head in. Why are they so excited FFS.
In the shopping centre this morning no one was smiling, everyone looked harrassed apart from the girl on the 'we buy your old gold' stall, she was beaming from ear to ear.

It's a commercialisation of a religious feast
Actually the god squad nicked it from the Pagans....and in that spirit, I quite like it as it marks (albeit a few days out - Christians can't seem to get the simplest of things right), the end of the shortening of the days and the start of the real new year.
It means a lot to us this far north!

I get the feeling that some of you think it's cool not to like Christmas.
No, I don't like Xmas due to the fact I am not very religious, the family would always cause issues when I was younger and I have never had one of those jobs that has 10days off over this time of year so it's just another day to me. I'm also not very festive due to being a cynical, sarcastic grump.
It's only Christmas eve and my family are already f
king bickering. So very glad I am going to a mate's tonight instead. Really not looking forward to tomorrow. (and I have to re-celebrate it on Boxing day too, FFS)
It even seems to make people drive worse than usual. My 20 minute drive today was marred by utter utter retards sitting in the wrong lane at the wrong speed (including a marked-up police car doing 60 in lane 2, with a completely clear lane 1 - THANKS A LOT YOU) amongst other bellends paying no attention to the road as they're so busy thinking about tinsel and turkey and Uncle fking Trevor.

fking hate Christmas
I have to spend a whole day with people I really can't stand. I'm always looked down on because I don't drink. Apparently it's a must that I get at least a crate of beer down me...
Then there's the food. It's just roast dinner. Roast dinner is boring. I'd MUCH rather have some wholewheat pasta with a couple of chicken breasts. Then be able to go to the gym. Which I can't, because it's closed tomorrow. Great.
Then there's all the money spent on gifts. Will I get anything as thoughtful/expensive back? Will I fk. I am not giving to receive but it'd be nice if the rest of my family actually tried. I go out of my way to get some decent things, especially for the younger ones. Then get a bunch of socks and other st I don't need. Oh well, at least it's only a day.

It is a pagan celebration raped by the god squad and turned into a commercial production that heaps peer pressure on the innocent and extracts hard earned dosh from wallets.
Xmas is utter wk.
Why the fk are we meant to show peace and goodwill to all men at this time of the year? Should that not be all year round?
Christmas? fk right off.
The End.

bks to Christmas! For the past few years since we arrived in Bulgaria we've played Mother and Father Christmas to the kids in the village, presenting them with little gifts worth about ten quid each, which goes a very long way out here. In return the kids put on a carol concert for the village, I dress up as the fat beardie bloke in red, and a good time is had by all.
This year the newly elected Mayor told us not to bother, as his brother, the owner of a petrol station, is going to sponsor the party and presents instead. Her indoors' response was "fk Him, I'll knock on all the doors on Christmas Eve wearing the red suit and give them their presents myself!"
Christmas Eve arrives, we're not even invited to the kid's party, until there's a knock at the door. The sponsored presents were a bar of chocolate each, there's no one to play Santa, and the kids are shouting for Mother and Father Christmas, how quickly can we get there?
The Mayor is apparently not best pleased that the "fking English" saved the day, and "What did the gypsy brats expect anyway?"
I think I'll run for Mayor next year.

Earlier in the thread I said I didn't mind xmas, but I have to say, I find myself changing my mind now, I'll be well glad when its over! Me and my lass had a big argument last night, because she gets well excited by it, and I couldn't stuff... so she sits there saying I'm a miserable bugger (I actually wasn't, I was hungover, and just being quiet) and off it goes from there.
Luckily she's gone off to her parents for dinner so I get some peace and quiet. I'm cursing that I couldn't get my MX-5 in time to go for a hoon this morning
And if I never hear another st fking xmas song again it'll be too soon!

t fking xmas song again it'll be too soon!Sitting here watching Senna ( DVD I've bought my Ol' Man for christmas ). Still haven't wrapped anything yet and as per usual leaving everything to the last minute.
Waste of bleeding time, Gonna take about hour to wrap all this crap which will then ripped off again in a matter of hours, when I take all this stuff down my brothers, then chucked in the bin.
As per usual will spend most of the day with hands in a bloody sink washing up endless plates, cups and glasses.
fking 'ate christmas, would much rather spend it in the garage tinkering.
