i honestly fucking hate christmas, thanksgiving, and all those othe rbullshit holidays because you have to get dressed up to go see family that you have nothing in common with and you see them all the time anyway. i jsut think its bullshit, i dont give a fuck about presents or turkey or anything like that, its like i have to change who i am so i can make a good impression on people who should accept me for the way i am anyway. i love halloween because you get to hang with friends and fuck with people and whatnot which is fun. sorry i was kinda ramblin on i jsut needed to get that out
Im not one to bitch about conformity and capitalism bullshit, but it's all christmas is; bitchy mothers, whining kids, and a way to divert our spendings on shit we never would have bought. The point of christmas is to celebrate the birth of christ and to be thankful for what we have, and everyone has lost sight of it. At least most people still understand thanksgiving and get with the program...plus turkey ....and turkey's good shit.
Hey, I know what y'all mean. Christmas has become such a commercial holiday, and soon you know the words to Christmas songs you've never listened to. It's this time of year that I hate people because they think their time is more important than yours and will punch a guy in the eye over a FU*#%NG X-box 360. I don't want to go to Wal-Mart, K-Mart, or even into public bathrooms this time of year, for fear of being bombarded with that fake "Holiday Cheer" shit. What's the point of spending money on someone if you know they won't like what you give 'em? (I stopped liking the holidays when I was 12... I got hit in the eye over a present, and my mom insisted on giving me a sweatshirt and a movie that didn't even work...) But that's just my opinion... now you know, so please don't force those damned Christmas cookies down my throat, 'cause you might lose an eye. Cheers!
Do what I do: celebrate the National Moron Tolerance Day of Philanthropy. (Disclaimer: I mean no offense to those who celebrate a holiday. After all, I'm celebrating one too. It's just, there are a lot of idiots who idiotically celebrate holidays. )
Finally some people with the right idea!. "Christmas" has become a complete rip-off, a fiendish scheme to bankrupt and control the population by the commercial merchants of evil! That is what it is now, a money making venture. Then even the radio stations get duped into it and start playing more and more christmas "music" (it should not even be called music). The original message of christmas was supposed to be "Peach on Earth and Goodwill to all Men". This is not promoted at all anymore except maybe on some cards. How do near-riot conditions at the malls and stores promote "goodwill to all men"? There are good things associated with christmas too. Parties, drinks, gifts, etc. But why do we need a day set asside for that. Why not have fun all the time? I do.
I hate this christmas commercialism too. It's horrible!! You should have seen the pre-christmas-sunday-shopping in Zürich. The shops were open at Sunday especially for gift-shopping. The whole city was black with angry and stressed people with tons of plastic bags. And loudspeakers everywhrere with voices of children singing christmas-songs in a very low quality. What I love in Christmas is visiting my grandparents. They don't exspect anything of me and take me as I am...
The closer it gets, the whackier people get. I'm working as a cashier in a big store. The closer it gets to the big day, the more on edge they are. For what??
this is what bothers me. I have to spend hours with people i would never put myself in direct communication with had they been strangers, except maybe my memere, cuz she's fucking sweet. When i was little my family was the best. We all got along and loved each other, and I used to really appreciate spending time with them, but lately the reality of a family and that they're just forced friends full of negativity and greed makes me want to cry.
same, mayn.. to me these holidays are just another day of the year i dont see what everyone gets worked up about oh yeah, i forgot.. getting presents
I'm starting to dislike the Christmas season too. I've not been able to let go of the summer this year. Best summer I've ever had. This Christmas was a dud.
i fuckin hate christmas because of the illusion it sets up. by assigning a day for christmas spirit, it seems to make people think its alright to be an asshole the rest of the year. thankfullness and all that is largely fake it youre only doing it on a set day each year. if the nazis and brittish could stop fighting and PLAY FOOTBALL in the middle of a fucking war, for the SOLE REASON that the planet theyre on rotated past a point in its cycle which has no different physical effect on the humans as each other day, then.. then.. isnt it obvious? can animals do that?
