RIGHT ON! I hate xmas. It is the most trashed holiday I ever seen. People think plastic statues and 10,000 lights in their yard means xmas.

Unfortunately, most people have forgotten the meaning of Christmas.  |

Wish you'd have started this about a week ago. I hate that some people disregard Thanksgiving and jump right into gaudy Christmas lights and decorations like it was some sort of contest losing sight of what it's really all about.

Sick of all the f***ing X-mas music on the radio, and all the foney-baloney shopping craziness. Buy this, buy that. BOSH! Where is the true meaning of X-mas besides retailing?
BTW, Jesus was likely born in the spring time according to most biblical scholars. What we are celebrating now is a glossed-over pagan holiday called Saturnalia.
Christmas in December is SUCH A FRAUD!
Peace on Earth and goodwill to all men. BAH HUMBUG!
I say peace through superior firepower.

Most retail stores depend on this stupid holiday for a huge chunk of their yearly sales!!!
As stupid a holiday that christmas is,
I think New years is just as stupid!!!
Just another reason for a lot of people to get drunk

i goddamn hate xmas already! im just having a holiday blue, men. i never had a merry one until i thought that i might have one with my ex-gf. i never have celebrated a xmas with a person whom i love and share those freaking sappy winter romantic moments and romps, but guess not! its like i have been pricked int eh arse by the god.
and also i kept getting cheap gifts from ym relatives while we give the expensive ones to their children! goddamn greedy people they are. and my aunty betty always keep pushing us around to host a xmas party because she and other aunts dont want to do the works!!!

I think Christmas has been far removed from what it is meant to be. As most of us have come from large Baby Boomer families it is harder and harder to see your family in whole. Christmas leads to so much stress that people often oversee the true meaning of bringing everyone together.
I myself enjoy seing my Aunts and Uncles and Cousins that I have not seen since last year.
Sorry

I don't hate the season as much as I hate that it been so commercialized. I put my energy into trying to make it enjoyable for my nieces and nephews. I can't stay in a "bah-humbug" frame of mind, since I have to play St. Nick at a couple of functions.
I try to emphasise the simpler joys of Christmas, like watching some of the older Xmas specials, visiting friends, and enjoying my relatives.
Then it's time for ice fishing!!!!

You hit the nail on the head, Chris.
My response when I hear the retailers gripe about the lack of consumer spending I say "How is that MY problem?"
I spend my money on important things, and the latest "gadget" isn't one of them, nor is this year's "hot lip-synching" phoney.
I like the classic Christmas, decorating the tree while listening to the proper music, drinking hot cocoa, and schnapps, and let the children enjoy themselves without breaking ornaments.
Gameboy?, Britney Spears?, Ipods? ......NEVER!
give me Cribbage, The Rat Pack, and Etch-a-sketch anytime.

Don't allow your distaste for the over-commercialized and often stressful side of Xmas get in the way of the traditional and religious side of Christmas. You can "just say no" to the former and still enjoy the latter like the little kid that's in all of us.
(Oh yea, in case you forgot , you're already one candle late on the old Advent wreath).

Now where is my Festivus pole?
