Don't wanna piss on anyone's parade but I think it blows! First of all the gym's CLOSED for a week, so I can't do the one thing i've loved for the past four years. That's probably the killer. Wouldn't mind just relaxing for once, but if I can't get to the gym then it's like aaaaaaah!

Secondly, everyone's always so busy and cheery for something that i've never celebrated. I know this sounds selfish but it's like blah, Christmas..who cares. It's like a huge regression every year, hard to progress when everyone's a dumbfounded holiday zombie.

Also sucks when you have so many friends but not ONE of them know of any parties etc. Now that's just horrible karma. Can't stand sitting at home doing nothing.

It's funny though. I'm usually happy/positive for the ENTIRE year, but when it comes to the christmas and new year holidays I transform

(rest of the year = :), christmas time =:mad: )

Maybe I just don't like following the crowd, who knows. I've always enjoyed doing the opposite. Maybe it's because Christmas is a family thing, and i've never gotten along with my family in the first place? Probably a combination of both.



ahhhhh, felt good getting that off my chest :D

I'm right with you. Me and the family don't get along, so it's just a time where I'm forced to spend a couple weeks at home, everyplace I try to call is closed, all the chicks from college are back home, busy with their families (and old bf's from hs) :rolleyes:

I don't hate the holidays at all but I got to say that every year Christmas spirit has been getting weaker for us.


By the way, using the gym reasoning is just pretty lame.

Hello mini-Scrooge's

C'mon guys this is the one time of year I get to relax and not take a care in the world.

One thing I do not like is that my school gym won't be open until January 3rd. That blows but other than that I enjoy it. My family comes in and I relax.

Yeah, horrible Karma. Maybe you were Santa Clause in your past life and since you had so much work to do in this time of the year, you still don't like it. :D

If you don't like celebrating Christmas and get bored with early closings and such then....

Donate gifts to a charity that provides presents for poor kids and go volunteer at your local soup kitchen. Take a look around at people who REALLY have a reason to feel like crap this time of year and it should make you snap out of it and get off the pity pot.

Yeah, like me for instance! I need a new copy of Dreamweaver (commercial version) but its over $600, and if I buy that then I can't get a new laptop. Since you're so charitable, can you buy it for me?

I know how you feel. Christmas is the time of the year when I roll my eyes. Almost everyone I know are atheists to the bone, but they still celebrate christmas. When I ask them why, they just shrug. Social processes my dear friend, social processes. :p

Feel ya, man, but have fun with it anyway!

The society developed in such a way as to make Christmas into the commercialized holiday it is today. If you want to logically justify its celebration (one cannot give full logical justification to something unless certain premises are taken), then let's just say that it brings happiness!

Exactly where I want to be.
No, I don't get bummed out around Christmas. Why? Besides, I'm an agnostic.

Here's what I mean: I get almost a month off from school and get to come home (better food, better lodeging, etc). Sure, I have to buy gifts for people, but I get some in return. Plus, I get to see my high school buddies again.

What's not to love? I worship "Santamas," not Christmas. To me, Christmas is just a big family reunion with presents and such. It's fun to be home for the "holidays."

No classes to go to, no crummy housing, no nothing. I just get to chill at home, sit on my ass, and hang out with the people I love to hang out with.

Sure, when I'm older I might feel different. Then again, I still get to come home and be with my parents. The parents, might I add, are total victims of the 70's so they're totally down with sharing a drink or two with their son. My older sister comes home too, and she's cool sh!t to hang out with. In another year, I'll be able to go to bars and such - Christmas parties, anyone?

Hell yeah my future visions are a little "unexperienced" and ideal, but I don't care. Looking forward to the future while being happy with the present is what Christmas is all about to me.

Fvck yeah, Christmas.

I totally agree with sharpshooter. And what makes it even worse is that if you don't get into the cheery happy happy christmas spirit of theirs everyone looks at you like you killed their dog or like you stole christmas from them. I say leave me alone if I don't want to celebrate your holiday, that's my business.
I went out yesterday with my mates hoping to have a good time, we couldn't find any beer since all the stores were closed and there was no one out because most people were inside celebrating chrismas night or whatever.

The irony is, without commercialisation, there wouldn't be much fun to Christmas :D

I don't really celebrate Christmas, and neither do my friends. Hell, I just spent Christmas day writing up my book.
