  • Hi Guest - Did you know?
    Hot Topics is a Safe for Work (SFW) forum.

I am just curious, who here hates Christmas?

The_Pianist said:
I don't hate it as such, it's just the magic has gone, and I kinda miss that.

Even moreso, I miss people who are no longer in my life, and how we used to get together at Christmas, or Thanksgiving or birthdays etc.

Some have died, most live elsewhere, and, they've left holes in my life.

For those still alive, I can call them, or write them, but, for those who are no longer living, there are empty rooms in my heart where they used to live, closed, dark rooms where, if I enter, I hear only the faint echos of laughter.

Christmas has holes in it for me now.

i don't hate christmas ... i actually love it ... it's such a joyous time ...
but like The_Pianist ... some people who were with me during the Christmases have left ... and sometimes i do feel empty ... but i guess we have to move on and be happy with the people who have chosen to be with us during this time ...
 
I might add my family are smart enough to not call me until January.


(but this year, my little brother asked me to have a Christmas Tree for him, so I'll have one for him when he gets out in January)

I am being appreciative by giving my friend's presents, I don't expect them to give me anything for Christmas, at least I thought about them. For once I'm not wanting anything for Christmas, and besides the reason why I hate Christmas is because it reminds me of how many times I've been told I look like an old man by all those people at the mall's.
 
It's a made-up holiday to celebrate the birth of a man who may have been real but has been turned into some fairy tale creature with magical powers.

I don't hate Christmas itself, just the 6 weeks leading up to the holiday. Where in the hell are all of these people the other 11 months out of the year anyway? Can you tell I work in retail.....

I know what you're saying here. I was in retail for 11 years and the frenzy leading up to black Friday and then the Christmas was nutty. I left retail and thought I'd get some spirit back, but it didn't happen possibly because I went into the hotel business- yeech. I don't hate Christmas, it's a day to remember what it's all about, mind you I am not a church going person.

Frankly now it has become a day off - hopefully.
 
I do not hate it, but I try not to celebrate it. I only give gifts to my immediate family and occasionally a good true friend.

Im working in a mall at the moment and its like some sort of sickening crazed frenzy.

Everything is only for now though right?
 
I don't hate it. But because I've had to work so many Christmas days and Thanksgiving days over the years, they've lost most of their meaning to me. If you're putting in 8 hours on the job on Christmas Day, it's not that special, is it?
 
I do like receiving presents but dislike buying them. This is because traders tend to increase prices of things a make more $$ for themselves..:((
 
I love shopping and spending money, so I really love christmas.

Plus, it's the only time of the year I can sit on an old, white haired, over weight mans lap with out my families dissaproval or judgement. :D
 
I hate christmas more than I hate *insert minority*

it really does grind on me. the way in which you're forced to buy people meaningless crap (which I don't do, then end up hurting their feelings because i must be some malicious sociopathic asshole :cry: )

but yeh, the songs are crap and the decorations make me itchy. I like the food though.

It's far more amusing to buy people gifts when they least expect it, yet most need it. I think that's how to show you actually care for someone, so santa claus can shag a reindeer and drink the sour milk i'll be leaving out for him this year :twisted:
 
I hate going out shopping. I always put it off to the last minute and then stress out because I can't think of anything special, thoughtful or useful. I really hate gift certificates...it's like handing someone money and saying I couldn't think of anything to buy you...and then in turn they give you a gift certificate. We should have kept our money and saved ourselves the aggravation of going to the store to get it. :grrr:

I do like spending time with my family...and enjoy seeing my little nieces and nephews having fun and opening presents...but I wish all the adults would just agree to not exchange gifts.
 
For me, it is an especially hard time for me to deal with, well as of last year and this year. I try to avoid the celebration part as much as possible. I would like to treat it as just another day because it is so painfull. My best friend loved Christmas. He was like a little kid. I used to love to buy him things. And it is just horrible without him.

Yet I still give gifts, I still plan community holiday events, I still plan on going carolling with friends.
 
I don't do Christmas. Being raised Catholic (which I do not practice now) I found it quite shallow.

In fact, I do not celebrate any Christian Holidays. Call me weird, but I've had enough of it.
 
I don't "hate" Christmas per se .. what I hate is all the hooplah surrounding it - especially the incessant holiday songs on the radio and everywhere you go. I admit I have my little 2-ft. Christmas tree which I put up every year, but it represents how small of a celebration I make of it and a memory of what once was. Ever since members of my family began to pass away or take advantage of jobs that pay a premium for working the holidays, the magic of the holiday it was once for me is disappearing. That said, I have often been invited to Christmas gatherings of people who have big families, and I eagerly avoid those! I know they mean well, but no I just don't want to deal with it. I would rather have a root canal.

New Year's on the other hand is a bigger holiday for me as it represents "Let's start over and put that messy year - and Christmas holiday - behind us!" LOL
 
I don´t give a belch about Christmas, is that valid as "hate"?
