Fuck Christmas... :X

This is for all my peeps who get a sick feeling in the pit of their stomach around this time every year....

For those who associate christmas with really fucking painful memories which would rather not be dredged up but can't really be avoided thanks to christmas propaganda in our faces every day from now till December 25th...

For those who hate the not even remotely disguised commercialism of it all...

For those who would rather not be forced to celebrate a christian holiday just because it's expected...

Or for those who for whatever reason large or small, just don't like christmas!

The Anti-Christmas League is for YOU!!!

There are fun things to do on December 25th which don't involve celebrating christmas...post them here, this is the unofficial support group for all christmas-hating bl kids... ;)

(PS:If you do love christmas, more power to ya...but this thread is for Anti-Christmas sentiment only, go post in the Lounge christmas thread if you wanna be all pro-Santa or whatevar....)

I don't mind Christmas that much. My family don't place a great emphasis on it at all (we don't give each other presents) but it's a good time to catch up with friends and the like.

What I *do* hate about Christmas is the commercial whoredom and the nauseating, constant mention of "Christmas spirit" (with accompanying movies and songs etc). Also how the poor and the underprivileged seem to get remembered for a couple of weeks and get ignored for the rest of the year...
 
bwahhaha raz u crack me up, i remember you and miss slingshot discussing this... funny lad!
 
Ah.. i love going to the shops on the 24th and just watching people.. it's the funniest thing ever! It's meant to be the time when people are all nice to each other and good to all humanity and it's hilarious how pissed off and cranky people are and how little goodwill there is out there! Last year we were just wandering about giggling at peoiple and i spotted at least one other couple out there doing the same!

I like christmas cos it's a public holiday and it an awesome time to catch up with family and frineds and drink heaps and eat heaps of totally scrummy food! It has zero religious meaning and i just find the blatant commercialism hilarious and lap it all up!

The thing i hate most is bloody piped christmas muzac seriously if there ever was a reason to kill this would be one.. i'm sure the Geneva convention was put together for this very reason.. i feel for the poor people that have to put up with it for 2 months every year :(

i'll stop typing now.
 
As much as this year will celebrate my 13th year hating christmas and christmas carols have been known to bring me to tears, I've decided to give it one last try - to 'discover the meaning of christmas'.

Thankfully all family members will be at least 800km away from me and i'll have the wondrous excuse of working (read: i'll volunteer) so thats the ' family going psycho' element taken care of.

That leaves me with what to do on the day...

My one happy christmas memory is my dad and i going shopping on christmas eve, buying presents for homeless kids. While blowing $500 on pressies isn't an option for my perpetually broke self, spending the day helping out at a homeless shelter is, which is how i plan on spending it the while all you ppl are stuffing your face with turkey with the family.

Does anyone in Sydney want to join me? Sorry to the original members of the anti-Christmas League, keep up with the absolute ban on carols, turkey and on with the compulsory vodka consumption by the bottle in my absense! (well only partial ;)
 
aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaah I hate christmas carols... fucking working in retail fucking.. aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaah again...

they drive me to to the verge of insanity every year,.. i really need another job... that doesn't involve fucking carols... unless there's a hot chick called Carol... then its all fucking good ;)

CB :)
 
xmas is boring, and way too over commericalised, its only good for business, its just a other day to get stupid drunk and stuffing seafood meals all day and pass out in drunken state like a homeless bum in the afternoon.... might be popping eccies for xmas this year instead and might make the day more bearable with these boring relatives that you only see once in blue moon and exchanging crappy pressies and the usual polite "how are you, what have you been doing? where you working now/study? blah blah......." conversations with dickhead relatives, so the eccies might make my day different for once....

I was on some nice acid on Xmas day about 3-4 years ago... it was so surreal I just couldnt stop giggling all day like a 12 year old getting drunk for the first time. And I was talking shit all day and drinking endlessly and just couldn't stop drinking champnages all day and ended up making myself looking like a fool..... All these relatives were blabbling shit to me all day and I had no idea what the fuck they were saying....all of this just for fucking xmas.

Sign me up to the Anti-Christmas League =D
 
*signs up*

I work in a cafe where we only have 1 cd with christmas carols. It is "Pop's best do the Carols", featuring Mariah Carey *shudder*. It only goes for an hour and a bit, but seeing as my boss feels the need to be in Christmas mode, we listen to it every day. All day. This is the only cd I know to make our customers physically leave the premises (we tested this earlier in the year, when we needed customers to fuck off, 2 seconds of Mariah, and BAM, they were gone).

It also means that we as a store whole have to be extra Christmassy, apparently now there are higher power reps who are coming around and warning staff members who do not "Share the Christmas Spirit".

FUCK CHRISTMAS SPIRIT :X :X (sometimes..I mean, I like giving presents and getting ps2 ;) , but I don't like a formal warning for failing to say "merry christmas" as the dickhead customers walk out the door)

Personally, I like the idea of taking in Santa's pants a couple of inches and then laughing my ass off when he can't squeeze into them. I could support a no-pants Santa that scares the kiddies.
 
I'm against christmas because of the whole commercialiam and marketing of it, prices go up and everyone is all about BUY BUY BUY and the whole meaning is lost. I hate the fact that coke has manipulated the whol santa claus concept for its own greedy purposes and make a decent man who was doing good into a commercial commodity. I hate money, i hate greed, i hate everything christmas in todays age is. I hate that i have a son who believes in Santa but i'm not going to be that much of a bitch and tell him my beliefs on the topic and ruin how magic it is for him *sigh* so i celebrate christmas for my little one :\
 
I hate that there is never anything good on TV during christmas. Its always bullshit, National Lampoon's Christmas... Miracle on 42nd Street... The Santa Claws... or those god-awful christmas related cartoons, on every fucking station, at all times of the day. I can't stand it, my video rental bill goes through the roof during the christmas period. Aren't christians in church during christmas, hence, aren't at home to watch this repetitive drivel? I'd say its a perfect time to be airing repeats of Jerry Springer (back in the day when they used to be able to punch the shit out of each other and throw shoes/chairs) or Debbie Does Dallas.
 
Eh. The middle of October, when you sell the first candycane, is when I start getting that feeling in the pit of my stomach. Christmas has it's good points, but... The money, the commercialism, the buying people shit presents because you HAVE to get tehm something, not because you want to, the panic, the seein gpoor people go into debt because they can't afford food, let alone a turkey. And what are vegetarians meant to eat? I don't see how slaughtering a bird relates to a little baby born 2000 years ago. Eh.

And today I got a letter from my union ( I work in a supermarket), wanting us to lobby the government who want to change the legislation to allow businesses with over 100 people to open on Christmas, Anzac, Easter, and Good Friday, as long as no more than 20 people are working on the day. So soon we won't even be able to have a bloody day off! Eh. Grr to Chirstmas.

I do like the Christmas smell though (the fragrant oil that is Christmassy). And pinecones. I like pinecones.

Oh! Before I forget, there is one Christmas cartoon type thing that used to be on years ago. I only saw it twice, and it hasn't been on for years, but it was cool. I can't remember what it was called though. It wasn't really christmassy though, it just happened to be in a snowy place with animals, which I suppose is good enough for something Christmassy.
 
Chaos Butterfly: My name might not quite be carol, but would my arriving at ur work in a santas little helper outfit make retail slavery a little more bearable? ;)

I swore last year would be the christmas i worked in retail, and yet here i am again 8(. As already stated, christmas carols either drive me to insanity or to the point of tears (or both on christmas eve shopping). I find the only solution is to take to the offending CD's with set of keys. Always have some quality chilled 'replacement' music on hand as silence with a background noise of customers bitching and squabbling is an option you really don't want to entertain.

For those with christmas sprit nazi's supervisors, burn a couple of 'festive' CD's. This means a limit of ONE xmas carol per four or five songs. This with 'random selection' your new best friend, it makes tortious xmas music somewhat bearable.

So true!!!

Yes Miss Slingshot that would definitely help =D ;)

I am very very glad that this will be my last ever christmas working in retail :) Should be getting a 'real' job soon what with the finishing of the uni thingy :)

CB :)
 
I am so over Christmas. I have to work on Christmas Day most years, though I managed to get this year off. That plus the fact it's all about eating birds makes it unpleasant for me. Personally, I'd prefer doing Festivus - I think the "Airing of Grievances" would be sensational.
 
Okay, so we've got....
Me

Mean Girl

And we've lost Miss Slingshot, the OTHER founding member of the time honoured traditions of the Anti-Christmas League....Le Sigh.... :( :(

And Festivus is coming round the outside corner like a sneaky horse.....interesting!

Oh, and another reason to hate christmas (if anyone needs one): That mad bitch Mariah Carey will release a vomitous stack of christmas themed pap just TO PISS ME OFF. :X:X

Of course now that she's gone off the deep end, it could be even worse...Celine Dion anyone? Cosima Manwoman from Australian Idol?

**shudder**
 
the great time where i have to pretend to be christian and not take drugs and so fourth for my mum's side of the family

they haven't seen me with my peircings yet or my tattoo too be, i'm sure i will get a lecture about them too :/
 
The thing i hate most is bloody piped christmas muzac seriously if there ever was a reason to kill this would be one.. i'm sure the Geneva convention was put together for this very reason.. i feel for the poor people that have to put up with it for 2 months every year

Sign me up too.... I work in a school that shuts down over christmas...so i have to work full time at Coles....which is a fucking xmas nightmare....
Retail and xmas....uhhhh *shudders*

Last year xmas day was cool....spent with friends and Mdma fairy.
 
I have been known in the past to absolutley without any doubt hate christmas, but this year i only sort of hate it, and this is because it means i get a two week holiday from work.

Previously I have been a student and I have got so many holidays in the year it wasn't worth looking forward to the christmas ones, but now I work full time and I have been at my place of employment pretty much all day 5 days a week, sometimes 6 and a holiday will be the most brilliant thing.

That is why I'm going soft this year, I still think its commersalised crap and it has no religous significance to me, ahhh but 2 weeks off = bliss
 
I like Christmas, I get presents and holidays and I kinda like carols too.

Mind you I think the whole holiday is a bloody joke, then again, I like presents :p I also adore Christmas lunch/dinner/parties :)

I don’t have to listen to carols at work tho so I guess that’s why I don’t think it’s so bad. I do HATE shopping at Christmas and I hate the falsified Christmas cheer.
