Who else hates Xmas?

@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

@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.

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. ;)

@kotasoda That's exactly how I feel about the 4th of July and freaking summer

@Spokeskitties75 Not all of them. You have to navigate a bit !

Oh thank gawd!!@Rosejilly

@ArtieKat Shouldn't you be peeling the spuds for the homeless or was that yesterday?

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!

@SW-User Parents deceased so me, daughter, partner, all Xmas haters! Actually mum n dad hated it too but didn't let on.

@Degbeme Wetherspoons open morning. If you have a local you might get in evening (secret coded knock on the window).

@bijouxbroussard ((hugs))

@SW-User ((hugs))

Lol, of course you do, Bernie.@DonWax5

@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.

@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.

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... 🤔

@Stereoguy Don't! We're happy. Well happier than some who struggle to participate.
