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.
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.
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. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Isaac_Luria
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.
Hey, we gotta use those dinosaurs for SOMETHING, don't we? But truly speaking: Material goods really are awesome.
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.
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 Coss©GeorgiouDecember2004
