This. Oh yes.
Ah-ha you see, I drink to excess most weeks and get fairly wasted, however over Christmas, you probably will find me on the floor of one or more pubs in the area hehe

Already had my first 'I hate Christmas' rant this evening over a christmas tree.

It wasn't even over our christmas tree as we don't have them.

This year I am buying a santa suit to wear in my local on christmas day, just so I can tell any one who wishes me a merry christmas to fk off

What I hate more than Christmas is people who call it Crimbo. Is it really that hard a word to say?

That is all I have to say on the subject!
biggrin

Christmas usead to be a big family thing for me.

But

My father passed away two years ago.
I got divorced 16 years ago
My Children have all got their own lives and live well apart from each other.

So

Why don't we try and set up an alternative 'non-Christmas'?

Call me a curmudgeonly old git if you will, but I've never been a big fan of Christmas.

It starts earlier and earlier as each year passes. I saw my first Christmas stuff in the shops in September. The shops fill with pointless overpriced tat to buy for ingrates.

People with more money than taste decorate the outside of their houses. It looks like some ghastly incandescent ogre has vomited his luminous breakfast over their facades.

People you don't know, or like, or care if they live or die, pretend to be friendly just because its the time of year for goodwill to all men - apparently. Where does the goodwill go for the remainder of the year?

I'm an atheist, so the religious significance of it all escapes me. It escapes most other people as well but, I suspect, for different reasons.

The radio is full of annoyingly rubbish songs that would never see the light of day were it not for the annual insanity that descends upon us.

Its only redeeming features are the Christmas piss-ups. But as I drink most weekends anyway, it makes no difference to me. They bring out the worst Christmas feature of all: The pubs fill up with amatuers. People like you and I, who drink to excess all year round generally know how how to behave ourselves with a few bevvies on us. Not these clowns. They'll be rolling around on the carpet, or embracing strangers in unwanted festive hugs. On the plus side, there is the preponderance of silly drunken ofice girls who launch themselves on an unsuspecting public at the end at their annual disappointing office party. But even that can become tiresome after a while.

All in all its all too false, its all too forced and if I could I would hibernate.
Miserable git

Christmas makes me miserable, lost many loved ones over the last couple of years and this time of year just rubs your face in it.

I'm alone. I don't much like spending time with my family. I hate being cold.

But I bloody LOVE Christmas. All the happiness, the routine, the presents, seeing your friends, the food, the drinking, the laziness...ahh, so good. Although anything Xmas related before December is a big no no.

NOt to mention that the Christmas decorations go up at the start of November and come down at the end of January, just in time for CNY....

Christmas ain't Christmas when it's 30 degrees so I will be spending it at Hanopi/Halong Bay hopefully!
