Christmas Must Be Destroyed

[toomanyguppys]

I love Christmas.  But, my family all gets along, and my boyfriend's family all get along, so there's no drama--not bad drama anyway--and there's the food, and at my mom's house there's booze.  There's no booze at the bf's family home, but they give GREAT gifts, so it's all good.

Maybe people who don't like Christmas just need to adopt new families.  :idea:

It's sad that some of you don't like Christmas.

On that note: I *LOVED* Christmas when I was a kid. No worries, no resposiblities, nada! Now I have to WORK (just to make ends meet) the day before and after Christmas. I couldn't buy anything for ANYONE this year. My baby daddy PISSED me the fuck off and I ain't gonna talk to his bitch ass anymore (which is a hard thing to do). My family made me angry..... Should I keep going? *other forum members: PLEASE DON'T!* It's just the same shit, different day. I'm going through WAY too much right now. I WISH I could share the joy and spirit of the holiday, but the magic of Christmas is gone for me. Too much STRESS. But to those who do enjoy: MERRY CHRISTMAS!! Hope the day went by good for you!

Christmas is just another stupid day on this fucked up Earth..........

Ditto.

Grinch failed. Guess I gotta take over.

jicour, that was just the spirit of Christmas past.

Probably was. Especially since most past Christmases have been just like this one.

Are you kidding? I've got one that I hate already, who needs more?!

The real Spirit of Christmas is gone to the days of old,
it is more about what and how many advertisements the bloody retail shops can come up with to get you to buy crap, what makes your kids happy makes them rich,
plus if you dont buy tons of presents for your kids you are not a very good parent kind of thing and then your kids get made fun of at School, everyone calls you a cheap miser and so on.

Bah Humbug!

If you have that many friends that remember you and go to the effort just to be with you on a holiday then I would consider you a   very blessed person.   Who cares about material gifts when you have so many that care?

They don't care! They want my mom's cooking!

At least they just want your mom's cooking. My relatives who come over every family reunion want my money.

(Seriously. I suppose it's a Filipino thing. We give money to the kids. Just small amounts, like 50 or 100 pesos per child so they can buy stuff like pre-paid Ragnarok credits. But it pisses me off when their parents ask for money too. T_T)

My mother bought my husband a 32MB flash drive.  I didn't even know you could find them that small!  xD

[Feverish]

For Christmas, my sisters and their kids came over.
I have 7 nephews and 1 niece, and I bought them all presents.
My mom gave me a dvd player.
I kept putting off buying one for myself because I rarely rent or buy movies.
One of my sisters gave me cute pajamas and slippers and a Christmas card that actually made me cry a little.
I was happy just seeing the family together and my nieces and nephews be happy .
I actually didn't want presents for myself, but I'm pleased that I got some.
I had a wonderful Christmas.

Well, that's nice.

Ba humbug.

I still like Christmas, although I don't have the  enthusiasm as  I once did as a child. Back then it was almost magical I loved going to my Great Aunt's house for Christmas eve and being with my cousins and listening to the Yule log play Christmas Carols on the TV. Coming home, my mother would give each of us brand new Christmas pajamas  and we'd all went to bed with anticipation for Santa to come to my house to drop off all our Christmas presents. We also wore on Christmas day matching outfits in different colors<yeah I know how lame is that ?>

Now,  Meh, all Christmas is to me is a day off and lots of presents that I gave and received. I  did get some great presents though, so all in all I like Christmas but I find it inexplicable that some people go real overload with it.
