Do you Hate Christmas? - Mad Dog - 12-02-2008
I don't mind Christmas day but I HATE the lead up to Christmas. And as a side note I really hate Christmas music. Please daddy don't get drunk this Christmas, I don't wanna see my momma cry!!!
Do you Hate Christmas? - Biff - 12-02-2008
I hate the commercialization of Christmas. I hate the secularization of Christmas. I hate the accompanying weather.
I like the music (after the snow falls in December until the day after Christmas). I love the lights. I love the time off work.

I disagree. I love the build up. This year I started at Halloween getting myself in the Christmas mindset.
Do you Hate Christmas? - Howie Feltersnatch - 12-02-2008
I hate the music
I hate buying gifts for people
I love spoiling my kids and wife
I love spending time with my cursing grandma and my goofy assed cousins and brother.
I wish it would snow and be cold for about 3-5 days around Christmas so that i could sled a couple times and have white clean snow on Christmas Day, then warm back up to 65-70

I second the emotion....I dread when Christmas comes or even Birthdays....lists of greedy things people want. Talking my co-workers into sending cards to the wounded soldiers this year was easier than last year.

Opps i screwed up my poll the last one was supposed to be "I like it but I wish I had more money to buy presents" Sorry. Can anyone fix it?

Human Fund??? I usually give to Toys for Tots, send Christmas Cards to wounded soldiers, or something interesting.....I just can't stand getting gifts for Christmas. Don't get me wrong it makes me smile, that someone would think of me that way, but think, "This person doesn't know me at all." If my Mom gets me one more stupid cat sweater I'm going to scream.

christmas would be more fun if there were more kids around. my nieces, nephews, little cousins, kids of friends, etc already get so much junk and attention. they don't even get excited about it anymore.
it's pretty fun spending time with family though.
Do you Hate Christmas? - Allyson - 12-02-2008
I like shopping, I hate spending money. I like giving presents, I hate spending money. I like decorating, I hate taking it down. I hate Christmas music except for Carol of the Bells. I enjoy a good holiday movie like Love Actually. And I would like Christmas season to be a solid 2 weeks, no more.
Do you Hate Christmas? - plungerhand - 12-02-2008
My 3yr old has managed to work the words "Christmas tree", into about every other sentence for about a week now. It started with a pic from a magazine. Even though times are tough for everyone, I am still hoping for a pleasant Christmas, with limited squabbling and a minimum amount of " this sucks"

I love Christmas, but miss my Mom not being here for it anymore.
I hate shopping, but I love giving gifts. I hate gift "restrictions" and I am breaking one this year. If I want to buy you a present, I will. If I don't, I won't. Christmas doesn't have to be stressful at all, only if you choose to make it that way. It gets cumbersome when people try to overdo it. Then you live with it for months after the fact. I have very fond memories of wonderful Christmases and all I got was a doll or a race track.

good luck with that. I told my mom that we weren't going anywhere for Thanksgiving, trying to ease everyone into the idea that soon they'll be coming to our house if they want to see us, well she didn't call me for a week and was able to make my brother pissed at me for not going to her Thanksgiving.
This Christmas will hopefully be the last of the running around for a while. I'll cart the new baby around to show everyone this year but next year i'm parking my fat ass in front of the tv and playing my new video games or will be wrenching my new christmas parts on my motorcycle and playing with my son, not running the roads all over hell.
Feltersnatch out!

Where can I buy THAT sweater??? I have a brother who REALLY deserves it. That WOULD make me feel all Christmasy inside!!

All right Grinches, Christmas only comes once a year...and it's the most wonderful time of the year.....though it is hard to get in the spirit when the stores put Halloween shit out with the Thanksgiving and Christmas stuff too. Makes it overwhelming. Most of us have kids so it's really all about them, isn't it?
I only buy presents for children and my parents...everyone else gets kids pictures, but in a nice frame. I usually buy practical gifts, not just something I picked up on sale, something they can use. It would make the holidays better if most people shopped like that....my stepmother got me some hideous costume jewelry and bath soap that smelled like poo scented raspberrys last year. nice.
Do you Hate Christmas? - airhornahole - 12-02-2008
If CHRISTmas is celebrated for it's true meaning. I have no problem with it.
This Black Friday b/s just shows how pathetic this society has become.
The season is not about gifts!!! It's about CHRIST!!!!
Might as well change it to giftmas. Animals.
That wasn't intended for anyone in particular. Just society in general.

My kids are grown and probably STILL grumbling about the sparkly socks we found them last year!! Thanksgiving is OUR Holiday, as it involves being thankful for something, whereas Christmas has become a "whore holiday" of " hopin' sumptin good is comin"...( and complaining when it doesn't!). As a practicing Pastafarian, "May His Noodly appendage Protect and Nourish you. " R'amen...
Do you Hate Christmas? - Mad Dog - 12-02-2008
Where is the nearest Pastafarian Church I think I'd like to attend. I feel I need nourishment form "His Noodly Appendage"

But this is just the way society is, as much as it does suck. So I gotta make the best of it, I gotta make sure my kids have a wonderful Christmas, and BTW they do know the real story of Christmas, not just gimme gimme gimme...and I gotta make sure my kids visit their relatives cause there are a couple that we don't know if they'll even be around next Christmas. I can't be negative around my girls or else they'll turn out to be negative little brats.

If the Chrismas season started Dec 1, I would appreciate it more. I hate when it starts before Halloween. As soon as Dec hits, Christmas and I are cool. Not before.

I agree with you. Tired of seeing Christmas gifts and Buy-Me lists before the 1st.

I personally avoid the section of Walmart and any other store that has christmas stuff up in October. And when I walk by the bell ringing beggars at the door and they tell me merry christmas the monday before Thanksgiving, I reply with "happy Thanksgiving". But December 1st I recognize the Christmas Season until New Years Eve, all my Christmas decorations must be down by then, as per my husband.
