The Anti-Christmas League is BACK!!!

christmas is the worst thing about working in retail.

at my store in brisbane we had a miniature christmas tree with motion sensors, and every time someone came to the kiosk to buy ciggarettes this tinny voice would start singing some stupid chrismas tune

:X :X :X

it was funny though, last year my dad bought a huge plasma screen tv, and it was put in the spot where the christmas tree was traditionally put. rather than finding a new spot to put the tree, my brother put tinsel an angel etc on the tv =D

Crackhead Mental Health Day is a revolutionary idea ahead of its time. :p;)

The Anti-Christmas League on the other hand is a proud tradition spanning years and I am pleased to once again be able to join my co-president Miss Slingshot in presiding over its annual dosage of common sense and healthy cynicism into the collective consciousness of our beloved bluelight.

All you pro-christmas people can go start your own thread if you love it so damn much...ANTI-CHRISTMAS LEAGUE 4EVA! OLE!!!
 
Even though I love Christmas, I HATE working retail during the period!!!

Last year we had the same Xmas CD that they played over and over... containing:

Mariah Carey - All I want for Christmas is you
Neil Diamond
Tony Orlando
Donny Osmond
Johnny Mathis
Belinda Carlisle
For some reason it contained that Cliff Richard song - The Millenium Prayer - The 'Our Father' prayer to Auld Lang Sang?!

My personal worst was Rudolph the Red Nosed Reindeer by the Pointer Sisters.
DIE DIE DIE
 
^ fate worse than death *hugs*

I was actually blocking out the concept of christmas carols.
Kinda like the parents fucking thread .. theres a mental-defence barrier that says 'it not real; it doesnt exist; dont think about the bad things
 
yeah working in retail sucks mega ass at xmas.
try working in a cd shop.
last year i had to listen to high five xmas cd (which goes for 25 mins) over and over for 9 hrs straight......
 
^ *shudders* *twitches* Thats a war crime surely??

I think we need a slogan (or several). Im thinking:

"Dont let santa touch your children - he cannot be trusted"
- The Anti-Christmas League
 
This will be my 2nd Christmas in 8 years not in retail (even though the other year I was a sales rep visiting shopping centres which was just as bad). Retail is pure motherfucking torture and I have nothing but the utmost sympathy for retail employees at this time of year. I did 5 Christmases at the Disney Store...the pinnacle of pain.

I have decided to do my bit for retail employees and not go shopping this year. I'll buy anything for my family overseas and no one else gets SHIT (not even my boyfriend...his idea:p).

My final word: That Mariah Carey song was fun when I was 10 but now I just want to rip my ears off when I hear it.
 
vice president signing in once again!

(although this year will be a little different. NO mariah carey, since i quit that horrible job. now it's just making sure mother dear doesn't play that harry connick jr)

kryalkastleE, i feel your pain. my old girlfriend used to work for sanity, and i remember her bitching to me nearly every day about the exact same things (poor musical selections, always having to upsell, poor management, inferior pay and worker conditions)

point is, we need some firebombs and we need them now.

and all you christmas "oh, i love the christmas season" or whatever your call is this year

GET YOUR OWN DAMN THREAD :X :X :X

*tips hat to raz and miss slingshot*
 
But what about the people that do actually enjoy christmas, and all the joy it brings' to young children and their families? Are we to just dismiss the fact that christmas does infact bring joy and peace to billions of people?
 
^ They all get to live on a desert island where they can annoy noone but each other!

I think I posted this last year, but...

The Vandals - I Don't Believe in Santa Claus

I don't believe in Santa Clause
His corporate image forced upon
The blinded spending masses
To enslave the lower classes
With obligatory gifts that serve
To cleanse a year of guilt and shame
One token gesture justifies
The apathetic, hypnotized
Leaving them to be Kris Kringle's slaves!

Buy! Buy! I won't do it!!
The season's obligation has not my participation
Buy! Buy! I won't do it!!
The money-hungry mating call of corporate swine

Cuz it's only for the money!
Yea it's only for the money!
Cuz it's only for the money!
Now Buy!!

He monitors naughty and nice
Big brother is Saint Nick
Methodically his judgment made
Documented on his list

I don't believe in Santa Clause
Or his mystical facade
To teach the children wanton greed
Their lust for gifts becomes a need

Brainwashed by the marketing
And victims of the corporate scheme
Material possessions becoming their obsessions
Till human life has lost it's value
You blindly do just what they tell you
I don't believe!!!!

His tactics of intimidation repress the minds of youth
Using fear for generations, his image hides the truth
He's just a puppet for the system, a glutton in a suit
With Yuletide propaganda and a bearded mask to boot!

What the hell ay, I love it!

Yep! For two reasons:

1.) There's a reason the christmas period brings more suicides than any other time of the year. It's a big fat reminder to many people of what they don't have that everybody else takes for granted. There are a lot of people out there in the world who don't have the luxury of a roof over their heads and excessive amounts of money that they can waste on gifts that nobody really needs. There are people out there whom for whatever reason don't have a family to love and support them, and every year we stick their noses in that by turning the concept of a happy family into a commercial enterprise without ever actually doing anything to help the disspossessed feel at all valuable. If all the money and time that goes into celebrating a bogus holiday in the name of "goodwill for all men" actually went into trying to bring about goodwill for all men, I might have a bit more respect for the Christmas season.

2.) Nobody should need the excuse of Christmas to tell people they love them and to show them they appreciate that. One day a year to spend with the people you love showing them what they mean to you is a farce. Every day should be Christmas, just as every day should be Valentine's Day, Mother's Day, Father's Day and so on. Frankly, I think it's fucked that we live in a society where you're only expected to show people what they mean to you a couple of days a year.

Nobody's saying that we should live in a joyless world where kids have nothing to look forward to, but you shouldn't need Christmas to be able to give your children that.

Rant over. For now. ;)

I wrote you a fucking letter and I come to see you twice

Ya worn out geriatric fart, you forgot me fucking bike.

If I wanted a pair of bloody thongs, I'd have bloody asked.

And this cowboy suit and ping pong set you can shove right up your arse!

^^^ One of my friends had a tape of Kev, and we used to jig school and sit down the local tennis courts listening to it.

Fast forward a few months, I won a $50 gift voucher for the local music store. I bought a Kevin Bloody Wilson tape (among other things). My mum wanted to see what I'd bought and when the things I showed her didn't add up to $50, she demanded to see what else I'd bought.

She marched back into the store and had a go at the salesperson for selling KBW to a youngster such as myself ;)

That song cracks me up still.

I don't mind Christmas, but it's on the 25th December... why the fuck do stores start decorating in August (possible slight exaggeration :D)
 
hmmm... here in spain they actually celebrate it on jan the 6th (the day that the 3 wise men were supposed to have come to visit jesus).

It's strange, but the stores really aren't pushing the whole xmas thing here... it's kind of nice. For once i can walk into a store without hearing all those fucking christmas carlos about bleeding hearts, and all the other associated crap...

Count me in (from afar!) :)

Magpi whilst your offer of available residence for the compulsory anti-xmas trashing is most appreciated, your reference to any proposed shin dig as an 'orphan's christmas party' is MOST unwelcome. :p

The whole POINT of the anti-xmas league is to gather with like minded souls to AVOID christmas as much as is humanly possbile. To bill the event as the a poor cousin for those doing family things, goes against the fundermental principals of the anti-christmas league.
Now that we are clear on this issue, expect me at your place at 9:30am Christmas morning with a case of champagne ;)

Despite repeated promises/ vowes to myself , I am working in retail AGAIN over christmas :( (MUST GET OVERSEAS SOON, must get overseas soon is my daily mantra). To avoid the incessant questioning of 'what are you doing for christmas dear, portsea or sorrento? (my second job is in a snobby clothing store) I have made myself an 'Anti-Christmas League Badge =D. Depending on my increasing level of anger regarding all things xmas related, I may even take to Dick Smith and turn it into a FLASHING SPARKLY Anti-Christmas League badge.

Ratified members of the league should PM me for their badge requests :)
 
Ahh .. Kevin Bloody Wilson .. honorary membership me-thinks

miss slingshot: heh, love the badge idea, nice work. Must be tough on the front line though :(

well, i'll be joining the club once again this year. "technically" i guess if i celebrated christmas at all i'd be celebrating the orthodox one, but since both my parents grew up in a country which at the time didn't support the church (i.e. it was a largelly socialist part communist country); when we immigrated here we ended up just not celebrating anything cos in the end it would of been weird/stupid to celebrate christmas on the 26th just so that we'd fit in with the rest of the anglo-saxons, and as for celebrating the orthodox christmas which i think is on the 7th (anyone who actually knows this for sure feel free to correct me) , they just weren't in the habit doing so.

so yep, that's my story of why i belong in here and why i don't celebrate christmas. and i have to say although when i was a kid in primary school the fact that i didn't celebrate christmas was extremely awkward for me- i remember one year me and my parents went on holidays with my best friend and all of her family for christmas - so when she was receiving about a gazillion presents from all her relies, i ended up getting about two. one from her and her parents, and another couple from my parents cos they felt sorry for me and the fact that i'd been put in such an sad situation for a little kid .

now days though when ever it comes around to christmas time and the rush sets in to buy all the prezzies i have to say that i am so glad that i don't have to play any part in it. still, my friends continue to feel sorry for me when it comes around to christmas so last year a mate of mine that i'd gone overseas with invited me over to her house for christmas lunch. it was interesting for me to watch all of them cos for starters everybody there didn't really seem like they gave that much of a shit, but rather seemed to be in more of a 'it's christmas we better do all the normal stuff that everbody does' mood, which i thought was kinda pointless. as for the actual food itself i thought that essentially for a special occasion the food that was served was pretty bland and boring (but the gravy saves the day! ;))

and in the end, what it really all came down to was the presents. i mean, in the sense that that's what everyone was most interested in, 'who got me what, etc'. i don't know, maybe my friend and her family aren't the norm. it was a bit low key, as in there weren't 25-50 family members there. it was all quite interesting for me to witness now as an adult in many ways though. still, i think i'll pass this year if they invite me again. ;)
