Does anyone here hate Christmas?

I'm starting to hate Christmas.

Same old nonsense every year. Here's what I hate:

- How Christmas is being mentioned (and even 'celebrated'), several months prior to December.

- The constant bombardment of advertisements, attempting to con idiots into buying trash that they don't need. Yeah, excellent, just what we need. More idiots spending their money.

- Christmas carols. Christmas songs suck. They are an aural holocaust.

- The Christmas shows which clog the television throughout the Christmas season. Sure, regular TV is crap anyway, but Christmas shows are just corny pieces of trash.

- People mentioning 'the Christmas Spirit'. What a load of crock. If that spirit comes anywhere near me, I'm calling an exorcist.

That's not Christmas, that's commercial opportunism.

im forced into a christmas situation my my lady.

eh, its ok. i just remind her every day during the season of what the holiday is supposed to represent, and why neither that (or what the holiday has become) has any socially redeeming value in my eyes.

I frankly love the commercialism.

Material goods = Happiness.

 

well, im a severely unorthodox jew, i probably revere jesus more than the average jewish person, but i just dont see the point of celebrating his birthday. sounds like some medievel monarchal shit to me....im not much for standing in my place though, either.


this xmas, everyone should celebrate the birthday of Isaac Luria!!! he was a jewish/muslim/christian type of rabbi from the 1500's.

Wwjd?

 

baptists talk to him every day..ask them!

 

I think Jesus would tell us to buy as much material goods as possible, especially buy-one-get-one free offers, and perhaps a second SUV.

 

yeah, jesus hates hybrid cars.

 

Hey, we gotta use those dinosaurs for SOMETHING, don't we?

But truly speaking: Material goods really are awesome.

 

I think Jesus would describe material goods as totally bodacious!

 

I think "hate" is a little strong for the way I myself feel about it.
It was a bit creepy to see X-mas displays of fake trees & such set up right after Halloween, and the whole hulaballoo about exactly what you're supposed to call the season, the stressed-out nonsense & whatnot is rather ludicrous...

On the other hand, I must confess a certain bizarre nostalgia for those silly old "claymation" television specials, and few things give me the lift of hearing my favorite X-mas tune once again:

Father Christmas
by The Kinks

When I was small I believed in Santa Claus
Though I knew it was my dad
And I would hang up my stocking at Christmas
Open my presents and I'd be glad

But the last time I played Father Christmas
I stood outside a department store
A gang of kids came over and mugged me
And knocked my reindeer to the floor

They said:
Father Christmas, give us some money
Don't mess around with those silly toys.
We'll beat you up if you don't hand it over
We want your bread so don't make us annoyed
Give all the toys to the little rich boys

Don't give my brother a Steve Austin outfit
Don't give my sister a cuddly toy
We don't want a jigsaw or monopoly money
We only want the real McCoy

Father Christmas, give us some money
We'll beat you up if you make us annoyed
Father Christmas, give us some money
Don't mess around with those silly toys

But give my daddy a job 'cause he needs one
He's got lots of mouths to feed
But if you've got one, I'll have a machine gun
So I can scare all the kids down the street

Father Christmas, give us some money
We got no time for your silly toys
We'll beat you up if you don't hand it over
We want your bread so don't make us annoyed
Give all the toys to the little rich boys

Have yourself a merry merry Christmas
Have yourself a good time
But remember the kids who got nothin'
While you're drinkin' down your wine

Father Christmas, give us some money
We got no time for your silly toys
Father Christmas, please hand it over
We'll beat you up, so don't make us annoyed

Father Christmas, give us some money
Don't mess around with those silly toys
We'll beat you up if you don't hand it over
We want your bread, so don't make us annoyed
Give all the toys to the little rich boys

ho, ho, ho...

Christmas is good only for people being in a cheerful mood


Christmas has been smothered in commercialism and dwarfed by political correctness.

Oh shit, there she goes with the smiley faces again. I think I'm going to poop myself.

 

The funny/sad thing is that this forced consumerism and getting together with the family puts so much STRESS on people that they would be better off without Christmas...

My friend was all stressed out about the Thanksgiving dinner, whose family they are supposed to visit. I told him, just fake diarrhoea or something...

How Santa Died


It were a christmas morning
And snow lay on the ground
He wasn’t dead just fast asleep
And he didn’t even growl
As santa came in through the door
Carrying his Christmas gifts
He never saw him and he tripped
Fell down and broke his crown
The dog woke up and looked at him
And licked him in the ear
But santa didn’t stir a bit
The man was dead my dear
