Is anyone else tired of Christmas?

[dietpeachsnapple]

I am.

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.

Live within 50 miles of the coast do we?

Only get one good snow a year?

Doesn't stick very well?

 

[dietpeachsnapple]

not really I love being with my family and eating alot.

although most of the christmas advertising could go away.....

Avoiding television in general helps in that regard. You might miss some of your shows, but you never miss the commercials.

No, no, and yes.

I live in the center of the U.S., in Oklahoma, we've never had a good snow, and for this reason; It doesn't ever stay.

The only long lasting winter weather we've had is an ice storm, and although that did provide me with the silence and outdoor peace that I enjoy, it did not make me feel any happier, since it was bonechilling cold, wet, and slippery.

Here's the thing about Christmas shopping: the Christmas holiday is a convenient marketing reason for the companies. The true reason of Christmas shopping is that it clears out year-end inventory for retailers, and many make half of their revenue in the last two months of the year. When coming out of an economic recession, the market needs Christmas shopping to do as well, if not better, than previous years.

That said; I love the holiday of Christmas for what it means to me; unrelated to the marketing and hype.

I don't Christmas shop. I send cash.

No I'm not really. I don't pay much attention to TV anytime of the year and honestly the only thing I don't like is the people taking it too far. Sure the gifts are nice but I like the feeling of this time of year. Plus I get to pig out on Christmas and not feel bad about it.

 

[Tarkand]

Funnily enough, my family and loved ones have come to an agreement - no gifts. We get together and feasts and all, but no gifts. It's been great and a lot of good for my blood pressure

 

[Burst6]

Who gets tired of free gifts?

 

[Cosplay Horatio]

Yeah, I get tired of it. Even when I was on vacation and beat the crap out of Halo 2 with an Xbox in whatever cabin my family and I stayed in it wasn't enough....till I found some people building probably the best snow igloo I've ever seen. Couple days after they left I got my nephews and we destroyed it. I also kept the nameplate as a trophy.

Dude... Downer patrol...

Christmas is about presents now, that's just what it is. It's gone through transformations constantly - from pagan rituals over the shortage of food, to the baby Jesus' supposed birth - and right now Christmas is all about buying and giving.

I hate to sound like a total douche, but if you don't like it try not celebrating it one year. I guarantee that you won't feel better without it.

 

[Eclectic Dreck]

I don't care much for the holiday myself. The "ghosts of christmas past" are well armed in my case.

 

[quiet_samurai]

I love Christmas. Even if a huge part of it is just running around buying a bunch of junk for little kids. But it makes everyone happy. Honestly, I don't see how you can hate Christmas. Unless you're one of the unlucky bastards that has to work in a toy store.

Or any retail stor for that matter. I have friends that do it and they hate themselves and everyone around them during the holidays. Sad bastards.

I just don't like Christmas music. I also hate the feeling of obligation as well.

You have put a damper on a sleep-deprived mental dullness with the sheer unsavory condition of your climate.

I lament your condition and give willingly my sympathies.

I don't celebrate christmas.

I celebrate crimbo.

What I'm more pissed about is how we can't say "Merry Christmas" to anyone anymore.

Seriously, has anyone else noticed the change from 'Merry Christmas and Happy New Year!" to "Happy Holidays!"

It pisses me off to no end.
Fucking political correctness...

Where do you live that people don't say 'Merry Christmas' anymore?

I love Christmas, lots of enjoyment and I am a shameless present whore. I have been forced this year to make gifts, which is also a lot of fun. For me, Christmas actually got better when I stopped being a whiny teen and learned how to have fun again.

I'm guessing he lives in some overly-liberal (read: left wing extremist asshats as bad as right wing extremist asshats) part of the US. I've gotten that one myself. Or something like that.

Christmas used to be my favorite time of year. The Christians screaming "Remember the reason for the season" (I do, it was Constantine's attempt to bring pagans celebrating Yule into the newly formed Roman Catholic church) and the atheists posting crap like "All religions are myths" as their addition to the state capitol open Christmas display (really? the time of year people celebrate to combat the darkness and cold and that's the best you have to add? fucktards) have helped wreck it for me, amongst other things.

So, on those notes, I'll set my inner Scrooge aside and say:
Happy Hanukkah! Happy Yule! and Merry Christmas!

 

[dont_blink]
