The 'I Hate Christmas' Thread.

[Adenauer]

'We have to send them, them, them, and them cards this year'

'Why?'

'Because they sent us one last year'

'But we can't bloody stand them'

'I know, but it's Christmas'

NO, NO NO NO NO NO!!!!!!!!

OP, I want to be in your club, I can't what until it's all over

Oooh, and the relatives will also be visiting again, even the ones I HATE

I think this i hate christmas club, should be renamed
' the i hate everything, but right now its christmas club'

I dont see christmas as a time for gifts,food,getting drunk etc, i see it as the one time of the year most of my family meets up and we get time to spend talking and having a laugh together.

I really like Christmas. I like the families getting together, the food, giving and receiving gifts and the general frivolity.

It's the build-up I can't stand. The rammed shops, the earlier and earlier decorations and music, the cheesy lights and displays, the seeming competition to get better and better or bigger and bigger presents for kids.

Basically, if you could switch Christmas on on the 24th December, and switch it off 12 days later, I'd be perfectly happy.

It is the time of year to reflect on your life and what has happened over the last year

You have good ones, you have bad ones

The festivities will wind you up if life is st and they will be a good excuse for having fun if life is good

I was called Scrooge in the office yesterday for saying Christmas doesn't start until 18:00 on Christmas Eve. Apparently once it's the 1st of December it's "officially Christmas".

+1

I got strange looks in the office when the tree turned up on 30th of November because i refused to turn the lights on. In my world NO xmas till December, and i refuse to get excited until the Winter Solstice. In fact i get more excited about that than xmas.

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.

I would describe you as a 'normal person'. I hate the atheist tag as its used by religion to define us.

Personally i'm Anti-theist.

So bruce, just out of interest, if you were doing some work on your car, slipped and sliced your hand open, would you
a) shout "oh random and outdated concept on a crutch"

or

b) "jesus fking christ on a crutch"

I'm not anti-thesist. The theists can be as religious as they like, for all I care. I just don't want them to involve me in it.

Hear hear!

If Christmas was like that, I would not be such a grump about it. Best day of the year is Jan 1st as then it's all over and I can't wait. It's the day I get to chuck that fekin' fir tree out and clear up the mess and get a much needed 2m squared of our floor space back.

Unfortunately they do involve us. Look at the impact of religion on society, wars, etc.

Okay, so what about if someone for a laugh ops a bag behind you whilst doing some training, you wouldnt utter any words that might have a religious theme, like christ,hell etc??
