generally i'd say that whether or not you like christmas depends on your experiences of it. For me, it's the only time i really get to see lots of my family in one place. And so it's probably my favorite time of year. Sorry for the unorigional position.
Is anyone else tired of Christmas?

I love Christmas, because it's sort of one of those combo deals that it's a religious holiday but other people you know celebrate it too even if they're not religious. Try this:

At first I thought my Mum's boss forwarded her some low budget crap, which she forwarded to me, but I can safely say they put some EFFORT into this Queen parody. Not Weird Al Yankovic quality parody, but very, VERY close.
Just watch it and THEN tell me you're sick of Christmas. Depending on your openness to new Christmas material with puppets your mileage may vary.

I just hate the damned christmas music. Everywhere you go it's playing, and most of them are those irritating songs that get stuck in your head.
I love Christmas and I love not having to go to school or work. But then when it ends, I beg for death.
I like Christmas...
All the relatives stuffing your pockets with cash, for me it's like a harvest.
And the well-awaited winter break too. FINALLY!

I love the holiday of Christmas, not the big toy company jerk-offs shoving their newest invention down your throat, not annoying children, none of the greed, and certainly not the annoying atheists/cynics going "You know, Christmas was a pagan holiday, and Santa came from Germany!" Yes I know! I've known since like 4th grade, now STFU! I love Christmas because it's been drilled into my mind to associate Christmas with great happiness and getting shit I want for once in a world that seems to care only about itself. And I wouldn't have it any other way
At least it spawned the Trans-Siberian Orchestra. That justifies Christmas music's horrible existence in my book.Jark212 said:
I remember walking through a store in a shopping mall the other night (place was packed with Christmas shoppers too) and inside this store they had some happy Christmas jingle playing through the speakers on repeat. I remember saying to my Dad, "I would hate to work in this place with this shit playing on repeat all day".Jark212 said:

Not only am I tired of it, I loathe Christmas. It's a time of excess stress, colours and people. I hate my family and I'm not religious, so it holds absolutely no meaning for me except as a marketing ploy to the overly-sentimental. Everyone's unnecessarily cheerful and every time I get a present I just feel guilty, and despite the fact I didn't even want it, I feel obliged to act grateful and get them presents in return.
And yet, I can't escape it. Everywhere I go there's goddamn tinsel, or Christmas lights, and crappy repeats of the same songs and movies on the radio and T.V. It's a freaking psychadelic trap, and all I want to do is tell everyone to cheer the fuck down, but I'm always forced to stay and greet my idiotic relatives and family friends, and act cheerful and polite.
So basically, if I had it my way I would spend Christmas curled up in my room with a book, a loaf of bread and several mugs of coffee, and may everyone else enjoy their feasts and company; I want no part of it.
