Who else hates Xmas?

Crappy music everywhere you go, Disney idea of a good time, rain, wind, all the pubs shut.... At least I don't have family any more to put up with.

My sympathy. I do "special events" so lots of them now & same as you, no extras.

PS - is it just me who's getting a "This comment contains Nudity" box to tick with every reply I post?

@Rosejilly Everyone sees that check box when they make a comment. ;)

I wouldn't mind Christmas so much, but it is too commercialized, and it isn't about celebrating the birth of Jesus but how many presents you give and how expensive they are, plus about receiving the best gifts too.

Plus I don't like seeing Christmas stuff in the stores around Halloween time.

@happilymarriedguy True. It started in October here. PS-Nothing to do with Jesus - the Vatican picked Dec25th as his birthday to fit in with everyone's pagan midwinter festival.

@happilymarriedguy we have to choose to ignore the commercialism and stay in our own little xmas bubble
Wow. This is really depressing.😟
Rosejilly · 56-60, F
@wildatheart Nah. Find a set of Xmas haters on Xmas day. That was fun last year anyway. Somewhere there WILL be an Asian corner shop open selling alcohol and cigarettes.

@jveryoral for you and all the other lonely, angry, bitter people who say that.

@jveryoral xmas is a very wonderful time for so many people...especially the ones who HAVE a family to "put up with", I would kill to have a family at ALL....even strangers are kinder. Your words are so hateful and bitter. Bitter people often have no clue that they are bitter. You don't want to acknowledge or participate then don't. Leave the rest of the people who enjoy it alone.

I love Christmas..more people behave in a civilized manner for a couple weeks. It's meant to be shared with someone to make it sweeter...unfortunately

I don't like winter or Christmas. The sooner it is over the better, in my opinion.
Fernie · F
@kotasoda That's exactly how I feel about the 4th of July and freaking summer

I kinda forgot about "Xmas" it feels like any other month for me.
Synyster · 51-55, M
I like it better when it's over. Way too much hype.
chrisCA · M
I just hate the commercialism of Christmas.
Prettybrat · 26-30, F
I thought I was the only one
Fernie · F
Must be magical...being with you
wildbill83 · 36-40, M
The Holiday nor the meaning behind it bother me, it's how far people regress during it...

Hordes of idiots trampling over each other at the mall...
Rosejilly · 56-60, F
@wildbill83 And in the mall, well "precinct" here in the UK, we get the most depressing sound: The Salvation Army brass band playing half speed carols. Just to make sure we're all miserable.
wildbill83 · 36-40, M
they stand in front of the door and constantly ring a bell all day here...

as if an annoying unending ringing sound is going to convince people to donate...

Surprised none of them have been mowed down in a drive by shooting yet... 🤔

I like it. Partly because its christmas and also because people hate christmas.
ArtieKat · M
Good to see you posting again, Jill.
Rosejilly · 56-60, F
@ArtieKat Shouldn't you be peeling the spuds for the homeless or was that yesterday?
ArtieKat · M
Last of the roasties are in the oven now - bought ready peeled ones. Turkey is all sliced and ready to reheat. Veg is in the Bain Marie. All good!
