Re: I almost hate Christmas now...and today I refused to help put up the tree.
I'm so sick of all of the Christmas 'bull-shit'. I'm 42 and I've had enough of it.

Fuck it all. Today when my roomate excitedly asked if I wanted to help put up the tree...I said "I'll get it out of the garage, but you'll have to put it up and decorate it yourself".

It felt really fucking great.

like anything in life, its what you make of it

and its ok being a misery guts when you dont have kids. you can please yourself, but i defy any parent to go full-on grinchtard. no, parents generally have to get into the spirit of it

pity any kid who is raised by 'honest' parents who 'refuse to participate in the lie'

christmas has never been about religion to me, its a wintertime celebration, to appreciate your loved ones and friends, some time off the usual routine. pagan, maybe? i dont really care

That's the thing, it's only about greed and commercialism if that's what you make it.

The people bitching about it are the ones that are too weak to do anything about it, so they have to give it up all together. They don't know how to make it about anything other than spending money.
And the LORD spake, saying, "First shalt thou take out the Holy Pin, then shalt thou count to three, no more, no less. Three shall be the number thou shalt count, and the number of the counting shall be three. Four shalt thou not count, neither count thou two, excepting that thou then proceed to three. Five is right out. Once the number three, being the third number, be reached, then lobbest thou thy Holy Hand Grenade of Antioch towards thy foe, who being naughty in My sight, shall snuff it.

Re: I almost hate Christmas now...and today I refused to help put up the tree.
my grandmas cousin relies on my grandma for her survival (as in god forbid meals on wheels shows up but she has been known to call for pizza delivery). Nonetheless, while i was there, my cousins and i would get roped into helping out to set up her stuff (she lives in a different town, requires her fathers trainset to be put up around the tree). Well 2010 i was there and whomever packed up 2008 christmas lost some electrical parts that make the train go and im female and my other two cousins are male but the one didnt go so the other was only 17 and knew nothing of electronic circuits and couldnt help and this idiot cousin was saying i was female so i couldnt make the train go even though i told her the part that was missing. I ended up never helping her out again. Stupid old lady so set in her ways found out when she had to call an electrician to make her train go that her cousins granddaughter was right. Idiots abound. Im not against christmas but i really prefer other people to do the setup and take down. I dont like drama so do anything to avoid any possibility of it. If i had my own place there might be a small tree now but only cuz nobody would be there to argue stupid stuff with me over it. Lmao.

Re: I almost hate Christmas now...and today I refused to help put up the tree.
I haven't had anything to do with Xmas for years now, finally people have got the message and stopped trying to force gifts or cards onto me. I. just donated the gifts they gave me to charity anyway. Peoples faces when told them were just priceless, wish I had a camera to show them what they looked like when they found out is donated their gifts to help those less fortunate than me. People always bang on about how its all about "giving" but when I requested they give to charity instead of buying me gifts, the "giving" dried right up, but apparently that makes me "selfish and ungrateful". Go figure.

I have adult friends who, when we meet up after Xmas, the first thing out if their mouths is "did you get anything good for Xmas?" or you ask if they had a nice Xmas and they say "yeah I got this, and this, and this"

It's disgusting.
Out of this ugliness may come,
Some day, so beautiful a flower,
That men will wonder at that hour,
Remembering smoke and flowerless slum,
And ask-glimpsing the agony
Of the slaves who wrestle to be free-
'But why were all the poets dumb?'
-William Montgomerie

So many gods, so many creeds,
So many paths that wind and wind,
While just the art of being kind
Is all the sad world needs.

YES an I hate christams thread, I love it. Especialy an I hate christmas music thread.

I stoped doing christmas 25 years ago. Now my grown kids do it and I have to get the grandkids stuff because they get stuff for me. I get stuff for them all year long that they need, why stuff for christmas that they do not need?

I hate christmas, will not even give it a capital letter.

I'm 22 and am no longer participating in fake christmas. Christmas is about the birth of the son of god jesus christ, nothing else. Not bullshit fake santa and all the money you have to spend to go with it. The greedy marketers hijacked christmas and now use it to make money for there own selfish reasons. Wtf does a christmas tree have to do with anything? Just another thing you have to buy. Good for you OP.

Re: I almost hate Christmas now...and today I refused to help put up the tree.
For me, when you find out that so much of what you had been led to believe in your life is, was and will be a complete and utter LIE, well it kinda sours you on the things that once may have brought you joy.

It's kinda like this for me anyways, knowing after years of rabbit holes and soul searching and coming to the gut feeling that we the general public (slaves) have been literally fed shit and kept in the dark as to be raised to be authority controlled mindless fools of a corrupt system and then realizing this has been done to you on purpose, ya it makes ya a little sour on stupid mass marketing holidays.

Hmm, 9/11 and all the death that surrounds it, but I'm gonna pretend it doesn't exist and play satan claws and hand out china made crap we don't need.

Or, I'm gonna go buy that china made crap we don't need with debt notes from the fed or bank of Canada that get printed at interest just so I can be enslaved to the criminal foreign banking cabal even further. All while singing we wish you a merry Christmas??

Sorry the secrets are out and the gig is up, I cannot pretend that everything is okay in the land of make believe and lies any longer. My eyes were once blind but now they see. Anyone who tells these lies to children only consent to slavery. If only we can hang on to the spirit of Christmas and do away with all the pagan rituals and commercial and materialism that surrounds it.

Re: I almost hate Christmas now...and today I refused to help put up the tree.
We simply ignore Christmas.

Have made it plain to family, coworkers, etc that we just do not participate. No real reason. Just stepped outside of the whole thing.

All around me I see people stressed by "having" to do this or that.

From a distance, it all looks like a feverish nightmare. Artificial glee. Overspending on things that are not appreciated.

We spend the day quietly, raking leaves or out birdwatching.

Afterwards, when well meaning people ask 'How was your Christmas?' I reply, 'Nice and quiet, no commotion, raked leaves.'

I have seen such envy in their eyes, and have heard "Oh, I wish I could do that but..." several, several times.

Yes there is.

It takes balls, and you will not be popular.

You will be hated... and envied.

Start early, announce you will neither give nor accept anything. Will not participate in any Christmas commotion.

That you prefer to spend the day quietly... I dunno... doing whatever suits you, but which is legal and decent.

Re: I almost hate Christmas now...and today I refused to help put up the tree.
Just ignore the commercial stuff -- that's not Christmas, that's tawdriness. Christmas is wonderful. Christmas carols, make a batch of cookies, do some simple crafts, put out some foods out for animals, listen to a brass band, set out a nativity scene (even if it's just an old Christmas card by a candle). Do some crafts. I bought a 2 dollar bag of yarn scraps from the thrift shop and crocheted little toys for my kids, and we use the small pieces to make a garland. We are going to do some origami, paper snowflakes and cranberry popcorn chains...maybe even make a few dough ornaments. There are lots of musical events at churches. If you don't care about yourself and your own happiness, remember that there's lots of kids and others who could use lots of help and kindness in the world.

Re: I almost hate Christmas now...and today I refused to help put up the tree.
I'll celebrate it as the pagan holiday it is.
People get bored in the winter, what better than to put up some shiny lights and give your loved ones gifts-just because. If people want to make it about Jesus and be thankful and buy gifts because they're able-thanks to Jesus- then let them. It's hard to ignore Christmas with kids. I'm not teaching mine that there is a fat Santa Claus, when it's time I'll tell them that "Santa" is a metaphor for describing your parents. Parents know when you're sleep, good, bad, and what youd like. Wooptie doo. Don't ask for shit, you'll get what you'll get and be happy you got anything.

I will say this, black Friday sucks...unless you're ordering online.
