Reasons that Christmas Sucks

[LadySizzla]

I hate Xmas. It sucks. These are my reasons why. Tinks and Rose may wanna add some lol.

1. Your supposed to like it, but I'm a rebel and dont like doing what is expected from me.
2. Its crap if you get a crap present and have to open it in front of who bought it for you.
3. Cards, decorations, tinsel and trees use up way too much space, gather dust, leave debris and are a pain in the arse to put up AND bring down.
4. Kids whine on about what they want and forget that Jesus was actually born (LOL)
5. Kids whine on when they dont get what they want.
6. Kids whine on in shops and make you wanna drop kick them across the aisle.
7. You are expected to visit and be nice to family, who really get on your wick.
8. Daft bints in shops, hairdressing salons, offices all over use the words 'ARE YOU READY FOR XMAS THEN' as a conversation starter. Someone give me an uzi!
9. People stuff themselves unecssarily. Why do you want to eat till you explode just cos some bloke called Jesus was once born?
10. Annoying Christmas songs get played over and over everywhere you go (I can forgive Last Xmas by Wham).
11. Drunk people try to kiss you 'cos its Xmas' or say 'gizza Xmas kiss' while they lunge at you slobbering.
12. Holly hurts if it pricks you.
13. Your expected to visit graves out of respect even if you don't want to.
14. Taxis, shops, pubs, gyms, life....comes to a standstill.
15. The TV plays naff crap TV shows and movies.
16. You are often forced to bear your work colleagues on a 'Xmas Do' when normally you cant bear to get through a working day with them.
17. Its cold. Unless your in a hot country, which I'm not.
18. I don't have any kids or my mother.
19. You inevitably spend money you don't have on presents and Xmas Do's that you feel obliged to be involved in.
20. People get more drunk than usual. I say get that drunk anytime don't save it for Xmas!

Next? BAH HUMBUG!

My family!! To lay flowers and stuff on graves of loved ones. But its ok cos i dont buy into that one. I dont feel pressure cos ive always stated strongly that if I want to go pay my respects I will do it when I want, not when others do.

The grave thing must be a UK thing, over here we don't think of loved ones, rather we think;

1. Why in the hell did people waste all of this money on these crappy gifts for me?
2. Can't anyone spare a few minutes to make me a handmade gift.......something from the heart?
3. When can I go home/when will these people leave my home?
4. These cheaper fu ckers show up to my home wanting to drink all of my booze and they didn't thing to bring any/ wow, this cheap bastard is hosting a Christmas party and doesn't have enough booze for everyone.
5. I wonder if anyone will give me hell for sneaking away for a few minutes to smoke a spliff?
6. I wonder if I fake the swine flu............will they actually let me leave early?

hmm i'm guessing then that thanksgiving over there is more like our Xmas? (presents aside) spending time with family is the big thing here. except we dont have a thanksgiving. i thought all people thought of their loved ones at xmas. interesting.

<rant>No, Thanksgiving is just a day to eat way to much and for the fat people to complain about the day setting them back months with their diet of the month. Honestly I think the meanings of most holidays is lost some where..............but at least people get the day off from work. Christmas is a perfect example, most people fail to celebrate it as the day that god created a son on earth even though Jesus was not born on the 25th of December. I know plenty of Jewish families that "celebrate" Christmas if you call hanging Christmas lights celebrating the event..........oops the PC police will come and get me for not saying "holiday" instead Christmas. While I'm on this rant, the word "holiday" means holy day so I now want to know why you folks use the term instead of vacation. </rant>

BTW, we have Memorial Day to remember your loved ones. A few people still go to the grave yards and leave flowers and such...........everyone else just enjoys the nice weather.

[Wahoo]

I'm gonna convert to all the major religions so's I can get ALL the holidays off! And if I could figure out a way to get dual citizenship in a handful of countries that seem to be on vacation half the year (like Canada, Australia, most of Europe), I'd do that, too, so I'd always be on vacation and never have to work again!

whoops! didnt know my ignorance of Thanksgiving would invoke such rage in anyone. if it helps I was also ignorant on the 'holy days' concept too. i dont really care what xmas, holidays, thanksgiving or anything is for so long as I can get drunk and get a wage whilst doing it.

[ECO]

Not rage, just a rant

IMHO the whole concept of people getting days off to celebrate stuff they don't believe in is silly. Everyone should work their 40 hours a week, get their 2 weeks off for vacation and another 10 days to celebrate stuff that's important to them.........even if it's just to sit in a bar and get drunk enough to dance on the bar top for 10 straight days.

oh well i agree on that one. nobody should tell you March the sumthing is when to appreciate your mother, or the date a person you dont care about was born is time to lose a days pay lol. i could go on (especially as i'm not getting friggin paid so everyone else can sit on their arses at home stuffing themselves with chocloate and turkey and hitting their kids and dogs) . but i wont

[GhettoGurl]

[list=]People make you get dressed on a paid Holiday
You wanna drink because u feel crappy spending another Holiday "alone" but then you have to spend the day with family and behave
People force you to spend time with them by inviting you over for dinner
U have to pretend to be happy even when ur not
Ahhh pressure from kids, family and friends
I'm always upset that Xmas sales dont start until the day AFTER Xmas... how much fooking sense does THAT make???

Other than that.. I LOVE Xmas
