The 'I Hate Christmas' Thread.
Discussion
king hate Xmas. It means I have to socialise with others.One of my favourite Christmases was when I helped out on Chris Evan's Radio show on GLR in the morning. This was about 20 years ago when we worked at the same TV station together then I went home to my flat and had one of those Bird's Eye Christmas microwave meals for one already on it's own plate.
Classic and it must of been good 'cos I remembered it.

I hate Christmas. It's a miserable time of year to be single, and I don't have any family.
This year I've decided to side-step the whole thing and go trekking in Morocco from 19th - 31st December.
It can't come round soon enough.
How's the foot? This year I've decided to side-step the whole thing and go trekking in Morocco from 19th - 31st December.

However it's got two weeks to improve, and if I have to hobble the whole way, so be it.
The total distance is only 100Kms, and we've got 10 days to do it in. Pish, since I can walk 100Kms in a day.
Ah, I'm not alone. I am in the unfortunate position of having a sister who is manic for Christmas, but fortunate in having a brother who shares my contempt for it. Her day is a blur of presents and food and screaming kids, his is a trek around our home town trying to find the latest opening licensed premises. It gets tricky after about 2pm.
To date I have avoided the sister Christmas and have joined the brother Christmas for a quick couple before returning home for food, just myself and the missus.
New Year is equally as hateful. For a town with such a thriving social scene, Lewes is a true pain in the 'arris at New Year, with pubs charging to get in and nobody really enjoying themselves. Plus of course the usual mouthy drunks and lairy women. Thus, this year, a select band of us are decamping to Sneek in Holland for New Year, not just as it has a fantastic name, but also as the locals appear to be certifiable and like to blow things up with calcium carbide.

Call me a curmudgeonly old git if you will, but I've never been a big fan of Christmas.
Agree totally. I dislike turkey/christmas pudding/christmas cake, am not religious and see enough of my
family the rest of the year.
I shall be working until 1130pm on the 24th (that's going to be fun) and so, oh dear, drat, I won't be able
to make it to the in-laws for the holiday. Such a shame.
One year I planned to spend christmas on my own. I then got flu in the days leading up to it and by the
25th all I had left was some freezer burnt bread and fish fingers (that had to be chiseled off the back
of the freezer). I didn't even have enough cash for an indian takeaway. I did feel a little pathetic (and
hungry).
