Fuck the holidays

I was just talking to a friend who is bemoaning the fact that, for yet another year, she won't have a boyfriend over the hoidays. While I understand the loneliness she is feeling, I really envy her.

I HATE the holiday season. I really wish "I" was alone this holiday season. And I don't just mean single, I mean no friends, no family, nobody.

Every year it's the same old stress. Your S.O. wants something for christmahankwanzaka but won't tell you what it is. You know they hate the kinds of things you like to get them (you know, stuff you think they need and might like). Then you've got kids or other relatives who need gifts, but they directly relate how much you mean to them by the relative worth/amount of gifts. Then you've got your friends, who you know will get you something so you feel obligated to get them something too. What you don't know is how much they're going to spend (so you can reciprocate) and either spend way less than they do and feeling guilty for weeks, or worse, you spend a lot and get a stick of chewing gum and a 25 cent mirror from K-mart.

So, fuck the holidays. Fuck santa, fuck rudolph, fuck his bright red nose, fuck jimmy stewart and his stupid wonderful fucking life, fuck miracle on 43rd street, fuck frosty, but most of all, fuck corporate fucking america for making what used to be a fairly nice holiday into the most commercial, overadvertised "get your expectations up so you're family/friends/S.O. can never measure up" holiday.



(hmm, maybe this should go in B&T. oh well, fuck it)
 
hehe, thanks man. :) i need a smoke now, got myself all worked up posting that.

For the past 3 years I have not given anything or recieved anything for x-mas. I refuse to become part of this scam.

Whenever someone asks me what I want for x-mas, I tell them not to get me anything because I will get not get them anything, and not to get mad because I have warn them.

Whenever I feel from my heart to give something to someone I do it, but usually not during the holidays. People get all stupid during this time of the year.
 
I told my dad not to get me anything for Christmas and he thinks there's some kind of "problem" with that because people are supposed to like to give each other gifts. Nobody likes giving gifts. They do it because they feel obligated. I sure as hell don't want to give anyone a gift and I don't want people to get me any because if I buy what I want myself, I feel like I actually earned it instead of feeling bad that someone else had to waste their money. You don't need an excuse to get yourself something nice, just do it! Doesn't make a difference what time of year it is.

By the way, why would this go in B&T if it's a rant?(an excellent one I might add)
 
I hate Christmas. No, scratch that. I don't hate Christmas, I just hate the way it's shoved down my throat everywhere I go. Walgreen's had Holiday wrapping paper, boxes, and bows out on their shelves in SEPTEMBER. WTF?! The radio stations were playing Christmas carols the day after Halloween. My best friend and her roomate put up Christmas decorations a week before Halloween, and they put their tree up last weekend. :sickpuke:

The town I live in has already put up these gay little festive wreaths on the lamp posts. Fucking A. It's not even Winter yet, people. Give it a damn rest. Nothing like a damn wreath with red ribbons and holly and all that crap to go with the nice Autumn scenery. And don't even get me started on Christmas shopping. It's all so disgustingly overwhelming, I want nothing to do with it. I'm broke, so I'm not buying anyone anything this year. Am I a bad person for feeling relieved about that? :happysad:

:mfinger: Christmas :mfinger:
 
I'm with you zoloft. It seems to start earlier every year. Really getting to me. In fact, I want to shoot the Robin's Brothers (southern californians should know them, they're brothers who own a chain of engagement ring stores). Their commercials, this time of year, feature men proposing and the women getting all upset because the rings aren't good enough.

I wonder if i'd have any friends/family left if i went to live in the woods until january.

:mfinger: christmahanakwanzaka :mfinger:
 
The only holiday I respect in the winter season is Thanksgiving. Nothing like good food. :)

Fuck Christmas and the rest of them, for the reasons already described. I buy and do nice things for people all year EXCEPT for this holiday, just because they think it's a Christmas present, and I'm tired of getting funny looks when I say I don't celebrate it.
 
thanksgiving is fun, i enjoy that holiday. It's all about getting together with friends/family, having a good meal and a good time. Nothing really commercial about it and it's a lot less stressful.

I also like New Years. New Years Eve is my birthday, so I can always find a party, but everyone just gets together to drink, have a good time, and get a kiss at midnight. nothing stressful about that either.

but yeah, fuck everything in between.
 
I hate new years.

I hate christmas.

I hate halloween.

I hate easter.

I hate everything except today, which is Remembrance day. The only holiday I actually respect.
 
Hell, I don't even acknowledge those days (aside from Remembrance Day [Veterans Day here in the US] and Thanksgiving). I see no use for them. Only thing they do is drain what little money I may have during that time.
 
As far as I'm concerned, Halloween isn't even a holiday. Just a pathetic excuse to play dress up.

New Year's is nothing to celebrate. I'm awake at midnight all the time. The thing that sucks about this holiday is that so is everybody else. I like my time alone at night, damnit!

I had my birthday on Easter once. Nothing like wanting to celebrate and seeing that everything's closed.
 
I don't like christmas, I always have to be 3 places on that day, one day, I would like some peace!
I HATE Easter.
I only tend to like New years because I can get drunk alone without it being the wrong thing to do.
