Christmas is alright. I don't even have to buy anyone presents, hooray for adolescence, and people are in a better mood near christmas. Works for me.
Is anyone else tired of Christmas?

Technically Christmas Eve isn't a holiday. It is just the build-up the night before for the holiday. Same with New Years Eve. Same could be said for Valentine's Eve, St. Patrick's Eve, Independence Eve, etc. etc. People just have parties during that time, so they became sorta unofficial holidays.
Also, I don't get paid Holiday wage on Christmas Eve, so it isn't a holiday.

More specifically Vermont.
Since last year everyone stopped saying "Merry Christmas" and started saying "Happy Holidays".
It wouldn't bother me that much but I said "Merry Christmas" to someone and he said its more polite to say "Happy Holidays", so I don't offend anyone.
I still say "Merry Christmas", and fuck anyone who's offended, its fucking Christmas.
(I really want to post Mr. Garrison singing "Merry Fucking Christmas, but I'll just stop right here.)

How so you go the whole year without cheese?
Pizza, sandwiches, cheeseburgers, cheese fries? none? not even a hot pocket?
Well, yeah. I'm tired of it every year. Not only does the season "start" the day after Tahnksgiving, it's gotten to the point where it means less about family and good-will and more about consumerism. Not to mention how every store plays all the same music OVER AND OVER AGAIn (and, there's no "Wizards in Winter" playing, either). I also don't like how people act lie it's the only holiday out there, completely forgetting about Hanukkah and Kwanzaa, and yet people still feel the need to issue PC greetings.
EDIT: And then it also brings all of the annoying Christmas specials to TV. That play ad infinitum. [/edit]
Happy winter consumerist holiday of your choice to you.

I'm not. I love everything about Christmas ('cept long lines, and idiots, and people who won't acknowledge it's called Christmas even though in America Christmas has become more of a secular tradition anyway). I love the songs, the atmosphere, the weather, the cookies, the gifts, the cookies, the time off, the video games, and the cookies.

I don't love or hate christmas.
On the plus side you get days off, presents, awesome tasty food, sometimes good deals and have I mentioned days off?
On the down side it cost a lot to buy something for everyone, makes you feel like a jerk when if someone spends a lot more money on your present than you did for theirs, repeating the damn same songs, all the commercialism and how damn costly it is! (grrrr frustrating!)
Only last year did I began to really notice all the problems of christmas, I'm begining to think that everyone has basically forgotten what the holiday is really about. :S
Hope you get over your bad mood soon.

Yes, I remember that. I remember quite a few details from that. I have to admit, at first, I laughed. I gain a certain level of delight from hearing about people harming one another over toys, and trinkets, and superfluous possessions.brodie21 said:
I regretted to hear that the Walmart employee that opened the door was a temporary employee hired for that set of weeks specifically, and that he was chosen to open the door because he was the most "imposing."
No person being paid minimum wage deserves the treatment that normal Walmart employees receive. No Walmart employee deserves to suffer in that manner.
OP
Yes. I have been tired of Christmas for years. It isn't a christian holiday anymore. I recognized what this holiday was from a very young age. "Give each other stuff day." I have also heard of it referred to as "Santamas."
It is the pinnacle of a season that people intentionaly get themselves stressed out over the most petty of issues and invite the highest density of family drama possible. The gatherings are something I detest most heartily and I am more than pleased when my cousin Devin makes himself available that I might steal him off to dark corners where we may convene and plot.
I am tired of Christmas clawing its way further into the year. I have seen Christmas decorations out as early as Halloween. Soon, stores will be advertising for Christmas 2016 in July of 2015, like politicians as the election year approaches.
I am. It's a gluttonous fiend of a holiday.
The only thing I like about Christmas, or whatever-the-fuck-holiday is the dead environment of winter and the muffled gusts of the frigid snowstorms.. Too bad it doesn't fucking snow where I live, except for maybe once a year.

The music, I agree, could go away without being missed.Jark212 said:
