Christmas Sucks: Why I Hate Christmas
I Hate Superficial Family Nonsense
Why do so many households at Christmas insist on pursuing the same Christmas path of gathering all the family together for a Martha Stewart styled lunch. I do not understand why everyone has to be exactly the same, who makes the rules for this thing and why do we all seem to be forced into following it? I am certain it has nothing to do with baby Jesus; I just do not get it.
I Hate The Shopping
The shopping is so tedious, so very tedious. The malls are packed with people stressed out and already aggravated, searching frantically for presents for those that they hardly know or understand. How did celebrating the birth of Christ become this commercialised nonsense? I do not have any real religious views, but even I can see that it is wrong.
I Hate The Discussions
I am a relatively short person, I know it and understand it. The fact that I am shorter than average has not alluded me, nor have a whole range of attributes I posses. Subsequently, I do not need such details pointed out 50+ times over the space of a single day. I already do not wish to be there, people insist on making it worse. Following shortly after the comments comes the whole range of awkward questions about girlfriends, marriage and career choices. Of course, if you 'fail' any of these the assertion of how much worse your generation is to their generation inevitably rises. Tedium incarnate.
I Hate The Travelling
Some people find enjoyment in travelling whereas I do not particularly. Despite this, I am expected to travel far and wide for the event I already dislike! If nothing else, it is a complete waste of fuel. However, it is also a waste of my time.
Conclusion
You may like Christmas, but for me it sucks and I am going to have a completely miserable time. At least, if you have read this article, I am getting paid a slight trickle of money for it as condolence.

Post a CommentI totally agree with you and hate Christmas as much as you do. It totally sucks. It is a complete farce to me. It has nothing to do with the birth of Jesus Christ. As pointed out earlier, Jesus wasn't even born on December 25th. Look up where Christmas really comes from and how it got started to be what it is now, if you doubt me. For all you Christmas enthusiasts, by all means test my theory about Christmas, and in the process you will be educating yourself. Peace on earth, goodwill toward mankind. Loving memories spend with family and friends. LOL, what a crock of shit. I hate Christmas and I am miserable. I am so happy once Christmas and new year's day is O-V-E-R.

Christmas has nothing to do with Jesus. In fact, Christ was born in the fall. No, I'm not kidding. It goes back to a pagan festival, the rebirth of the sun - that's S-U-N, not S-O-N.
Most families do the same thing just because it's their tradition. Next year why don't you make an article on how to mix up the christmas holiday instead of following traditions?
I may read this article a few times just in the hope of making Christmas better for you in some small way. :)
Well I've been there as a child in a family that could not get through one holiday dinner without a fight, and later with in-laws who just somehow always managed to make an otherwise happy day miserable. Nowadays I spend Christmas in my own way, so that time will probably come for you too someday. Christmas itself doesn't really suck, some people just make it sucky :-)
I love Christmas. I spend it alone. No cards. No shopping. I avoid relatives, turn down invitations to be trapped somewhere. I do decorate and enjoy looking at how nice things look. My motto is "Do unto others as you would have done unto you." That's why I don't bother people and they don't bother me.
