The 2011 "I hate Christmas, Bah Humbug" thread
Discussion
Well there is no denying it's here is there? There is a house near me with it's outdoor lights up, my local was trimmed up like Santa's grotto about 2 weeks ago and it's all over the television (Stacey Soloman needs a bullet in the new Iceland advert. Makes me cringe everytime I see it.) On the other hand, I think the new John Lewis Christmas advert is wonderful.
There are of course elements of 'the season' I enjoy, but a lot of it is contrived, commercialised rubbish.
So, fellow PHers who have a dislike for the season, vent here and let us unite with crys of 'Bah Humbug'.

Worked in retail for years and hated it. Was told that once I had kids that would change. It didn't.
When my daughter was 3 her mum ran off with another bloke so I get to spend half of Christmas Day without her
I met someone else and got married. She ran off with someone else on December 11th last year
I fking hate Christmas

My missus works at the head office of a large retailer based in Nottingham, with a company name that sounds like an item of footwear. She will have I reckon 3 or 4 Christmas parties - one with her current team, one with her previous team (moved about 4 weeks ago), one with the team previous to that and a generic finance people party. She may well be invited to a party of a company she used to work for. Drives me mad every year.
As a contractor, I'll have fk all - unless my current client invites me out at some stage.

one good thing about being in an arab country - no christmas adverts! for that i am truly thankful.
seems to be more of an event in terms of families go away for 2weeks and singles go back to the UK to visit theirs. i'll be humbugging this in a way as i'll be staying, popping the champers and having a bbq on the terrace
our 'xmas do' is the rugby sevens tournamant

Im in. Balls deep.
Although I promised the missus that this week I wouldnt be cynical so much as once. I agreed to it after seeing a celebrity cook plaster their name all over a packet of salt at the supermarket promising recipes inside. Salt recipes I am guessing.
Looking forward to the big day when the children run down stairs and make a mess only to say "is that all?"
Bah humbug.
