I hate christmas * 1
    #23944809 - 12/20/16 10:25 PM (7 years, 1 month ago)

Everyone with their fucked up families, kids gotta be at moms, gotta eat with my cunt sister in law who does not even speak to me, don't get to see the people I love because everybody else has a fucked up life.
I quit celebrating a few years back, no tree, no lights, none of that BS.  Everyone going broke to buy the newest gadgets, drunken family fights with people I could care less about....
I'm not even a Christian.
Everything from the day after Thanksgiving to the first of the year is commercial bullshit.  New Years is just amateurs drinking night and a reason for the pigs to set up road blocks while they harass and collect.
I swear next year I'll be somewhere on an island for two months.....

You have kids?

Try to love Christmas for their sake.

The whole world is commercial bullshit... except your family homie.

My kids are grown and out of the house, it was for them a few years back.
Now it's just driving in shit weather, drinking to much and being asked to cook as I am a chef.

I like the Christmas spirit, the Christmas carols (and carollers), the hot chocolate and Christmas treats, time off from work, the traditional Christmas movies, etc....there's just that feeling in the air.  It might be just me and the residual excitement from when I was a kid, but even without receiving any gifts I would still love Christmas time.

the way i see it, Christmas is mostly about the kids, giving them gifts and making their days magical and what not. or it's good time to make amends with peeps.. meh it's like fathers day or mothers day where we show appreciation for our fathers and mothers, but in this case it is an appreciation for everyone!, specifically our good friends and family, and especially an appreciation to those who can still believe in santa clause!..

but other than that, fuck all the bullshit like fake laughs and whatnot, i'd just want to make peeps happy.. yea it's just another day, but then again it is a day with unlimited potential, cuz everyones got the day off, and like it's a good time to hook with old friends or do something u've never done like give a random gift to someone u care about or even just a stranger.. :shrug:

it's practice, practicing how not to be an asshole..

Christmas is a pagan holiday and shouldn't be celebrated. Lest you burn in hell for an eternity.

Ephesians 6:12
For we wrestle not against flesh and blood, but against principalities, against powers, against the rulers of the darkness of this world, against spiritual wickedness in high places.
Psalm 12:6
The words of the Lord are pure words: as silver tried in a furnace of earth, purified seven times.
Hebrews 11:3
Through faith we understand that the worlds were framed by the word of God, so that things which are seen were not made of things which do appear.
Revelation 3:11
Behold, I come quickly: hold that fast which thou hast, that no man take thy crown.

I feel the same way, I honestly do not like the holidays at all. Starting at Oct 31st, and ending Jan 1st. Shitty two months in freezing cold weather. Im always happy, like a weight lifted off my shoulders once new years is over.

I can't stand Christmas.... I don't have children currently, but if i did i wouldn't lie to them and lull them into a fantasy world reinforced with gifts to lead them into a false reality. The music sucks too, and the "x-mas spirit" is bullshit. People shouldn't need an annual reminder to force them to act like they give a shit for a few days, It is either innate or it isn't. :mushroom2:

yea man i don't like the idea of lying to my children either, but i mean when my parents did it to me it was magical as fuck, i really believed in santa clause and looking back at it now i'm glad i was able to experience all the magic n stuff at such a young age cuz once u grow up that's it, ur imagination goes to shit, no more dinosaurs, no more nothing, just a dull, black and white, world..

anyway i remember the day i found out, i kinda suspected it already, but anyway one day my mom and dad were in the living room talking with their friends, and i just happened to pass by when they were talking about santa clause, and i dont think my dad saw me but he mentioned something about santa clause not being real or sum shit and my mom saw me and she's like "stfu, zzzz right there" and im like "fuck it :shrug:", didn;'t think much of it.. yea i was kinda bummed out at first but i got over it real quick and no long term damage or nothing.. just good memories..

I found out because I was a present sneak and found some gifts. That xmas they were under the tree from santa.:rolleyes: But I LOOOOOOOVE me some Santa!:wink:

P.S.
I was so sneaky I would very very slowly peel the tape off the gift and unwrap just enough to see what it was, then tape it back and no one knew (I think) My step dad thought he was sneakier by placing some tape on each side of the door top with a hair taped between, I had long hair as a kid and just taped another in its place.:grin:

Too much hate in this thread, at the end of the day Christmas is exactly what you make it. I suppose though if you have bad family relations, it could make the holiday unpleasant, but you could use it as a chance to work on those issues potentially.

I treat almost all holidays the same, a chance to catch up with family, drink, chill, eat a bunch of food, smoke a joint, and just take it easy. I dont see whats so bad about that, even if most of my fam is pretty boring or a little irritating. Everyones over 18 in my family, so we dont even really worry about the gifts anymore. I just make sure I keep the conversation light, no politics

(raises hand)....I said that.

I'm a little confused about the "day off" thing, or maybe not....

Are you implying that my life's been a cake walk, since I said christmas is special, and wished you happy holidays.......or are you simply saying that you hate your day job?

Retired.....and livin' on a farm?  Man you have it made in the shade lol.  My goal in the next 5 years is to build a small cabin on my own land, solar panel it up, drill a well, and grow my own food.  Drop me a line if you ever have some advice....

They say nothing kills people faster than retirement....

People get idle after retirement.  Make sure you stay active and busy and healthy so you can celebrate a thousand more christmases :wink:

Good to know your following your passions!!!

Aren't you 50ish years old? Crazy how you can go 40 some years celebrating Christmas every year. My family stopped celebrating in like 2006. No gifts, no nothing, just dinner.

We're not even meeting up for this christmas. On Christmas eve I'm hitting the bong and doing whatever I want

Yeah I gotcha. I used to plan acid trips with my friends and we would go to the neighborhood with all the lights and drive through, it was cool because we could drive really slow and stop anywhere just about.:grin: (I am not condoning driving on acid, get a sober person to drive and it will be more fun, I was very young and stupid when I did that). Xmas lights are fucking brilliant on LSD!

Christmas has been bad for a while now here. Not the same since grandparents died. It's kind of commercialized, but I try to focus on the aesthetics and that some people are having a good time with their families.

I think the problem with Christmas is that it punctuates how good times are temporary and sometimes nonexistent. We kind of quit doing the Christmas things, but this year I feel good about it. Going in hating it will make it worse for you

That's what I wanted to point out, I am far from miserable, although I'd say some situations lead to misery regardless.  I'm sure you'd agree.

Christmas is a hard time of the year for a lot of people. A lot of big businesses lay off workers this time of year so they can start the new year fresh. A lot of people with substance abuse problems riddled with guilt and remorse.
A lot of people dealing with recent deaths of loved ones. It is extremely difficult to get into any kind of "Christmas Spirit" if you have nothing but negativity in your life. Please say a prayer for these people because there are way too many suicides this time of year.

The spirit of Christmas should be the spirit of giving. Time is the most valuable thing that one can give to another and should not be confined to one month of the year. The materialistic visions that are crammed down our throats every year starting around Halloween are only helping the corporations that manufacture,(usually in China) them.

Maybe just reach out to an estranged brother or parent or an old friend and say that you were thinking about them and wish them well. There should be more of this going on now that stressing over what is the gift that every child has to have this season.

An old friend of mine used to say that happiness comes down to...."Are ya givin' or are ya gettin'? Pretty much sums it up for me. I hope everyone here has a wonderful and peaceful holiday season....I know I will...cause I'm heading to Key West on Christmas day for the week.:wink:

The spirit of Christmas should be the spirit of giving. Time is the most valuable thing that one can give to another and should not be confined to one month of the year.

Well said.
Funny you say that, I just reached out to an old cohort yesterday, we were very close for years and fell off over petty argument maybe six months ago.
We had a great talk and all is well.

I feel the same way, I honestly do not like the holidays at all. Starting at Oct 31st, and ending Jan 1st. Shitty two months in freezing cold weather. Im always happy, like a weight lifted off my shoulders once new years is over.

Aren't people dealing with the recent deaths of loved ones all year-round?  How does this have to do with Christmas specifically?  I guess if someone had a loved one pass away around Christmas time, then they would be unable to enjoy the "Christmas spirit"...but the way you say it makes it sound like regular things that depress people make them even more depressed if they happen around Christmas time.


Do you think some people with negativity become even more depressed around Christmas time because they see everyone else being happy and feel left out?

I think because it is the first Christmas where this person won't be in their life.....and could also include other holidays where people get together.

I do believe that people get more depressed around Christmas than usual....maybe it has something to do with the lack of daylight or just the fact that Christmas (and Thanksgiving) are very family/ friend oriented holidays.:shrug:

I think it's that latter
I like longer nights better than hot as shit summer days

This family oriented holiday thing is weird to me

Me and the ex broke up last year cuz I wanted to spend time with her, but she wanted to spend more time with her family and the boredom drove me nuts, and my family is not much of a...they're essentially my roomates

and not the fun kind either...

I love Christmas time. Spending time with family and all that shit is just a blast. Even though it is a bit awkward, there's always good food and good spirits.

i really believed in santa clause and looking back at it now i'm glad i was able to experience all the magic n stuff at such a young age cuz once u grow up that's it, ur imagination goes to shit, no more dinosaurs, no more nothing, just a dull, black and white, world..



Fuck all the bullshit adults make kids imagine, it's so fucking stupid. Real magic is about love. The world is fucked because there's hardly any love, and that starts from the day we're born when society is like "OK, you're out of the uterus, time to become yet another robot!" My imagination is better than any child's. I can imagine paradise. Adults censor everything so people don't grow up to have any idea what life is all about; I had to get here through the rarest of mystical visions because before, I too was living in the shell reality. Teach your children well or abort the fetuses before they become humans living fucking miserable lives.
