the whole anti-christmas thing is annoying

All the messageboards I am going to have posts with people
moaning about how awful christmas is.

I think it is contrived and cynicle. Stop being twats and
enjoy the fesitive season! Buy some nice presents and hope
for some nice ones in return, and have fun!
ho ho ho etc.

so-called 'good old days', but so what, shut up moaning and
enjoy the lights.

My best maets boyfriend used to do a comedy evening called
Anti Christmas. It was funny. Christmas is just not wht is
used to be. It's just a time for me to have a laugh and see
my mates and not work.

But the lights around here are shit.

The lights in my village are non-existent becasue last year
they were up for one day before local little cunts ripped
them down. They also pulled over the tree and fucked that
up.
So this yeat the local council ahs said fuck it.

My nearest town. Dunstable, uses the same old lights every
year. They don't replace them when they break so there's
less and less. It's a fucking joke

i found my salvation one night thru 4 grams of weed and 3

Aside from having to buy presents and all the Christmas
advertising I quite like this time of year. Whenever I
wander along the road to the village square the lights on
the tree always make me smile :D

i'm not fond of "religions" either - religions are a
business mainly, and a form of mind control - however, i
have no problem with being spiritual.

There's a difference between following the divine,
and simply believing in it. If you want to consider
yourself a spiritual person, simply do the latter. You don't
need to be in a specific place on Sunday, or follow a set
list of rules, or confess your wrongdoings to some guy in a
booth. If there is a truly divine spirit (which i believe
there is) then i think they don't care what you do with your
life or how you live just so long as you put some effort
into not being a horrible human being.

anyways, i've had poor christmas as of late, that's the only
reason i've been anti-christmas lately.

I agree with you. I'm spiritual I guess....I've been to
weird churches where they don't believe in set rules or
anything and loads of weird stuff happens and i feel all
freaked out. But it's cool.

i think most people dont like christmas, because either A.
they arnt religious, and dont like being bombarded with a
religious season every year, or B. have seasonal depression.
winter is the worst time for depression, and having a bunch
of people talking about being merry and happy, just pisses
them off.

so, instead of complaining about others complaining... have
some compassion, and realize this is a hard time of year
for alot of people, and by yelling at those who dont enjoy
it, you are just making it all the more unpleasent for
them.

I think christmas can either be good or bad.. it all depends
on your religious convictions (I don't have any) and what
you expect to get out of the season. All I ever hope for is
some cool weather and some time off from work and school to
hang out with my friends. I think if you're asking for much
more than that then you're probably setting yourself up for
disappointment.

Huck the faters, Christmas if my favorite time of the year.
I hope it's a white one. I'm religious, my family gets along
and I get tons of nice shit, so it's all good, from every
angle.

On the negative side, I have to work on Christmas Eve AND
Christmas Day AND Boxing Day AND New Year's Eve AND New
Year's Day.

Yes, I get gifts. However, I find most people give at least
as many gifts as they recieve, if not usually more. Every
Christmas involves me losing money. Why don't I just buy the
gifts with my own cash?

i love december, the christmas lights and ambiance and all :

and if you don't like it... well you can always say this to
yourself: at least it is something different than the usual
year routine in the cities...

(yeah, i don't think it would make you feel better at all,
(classes starting again in september/october is also
something different than the usual comfortable holiday
routine of summer and yet i totally hate it) but well i'm
trying!! =P)

they put it EXCELLENTLY on the daily show the other night:

"december 20th-27th is hanukah. this is the special time of
year when you call up your jewish friends and wish them a
merry christmas, only to be reminded that they don't
celebrate christmas because they don't believe jesus was the
messiah. well i don't believe in all that crap either, but
that hasn't stopped me from riding the present train to
gifttown year after year. ha ha, messiah. that'll be the
day. well....i guess that WILL be the day."

Our christmases aren't the same as when I was little. Now
it's just a few CDs cos we owe parents money or get some off
them in order to buy something big eventually. So the tree
isn't surrounded by boxes as it was when I was a wee lad :'(

I'm getting Confield for the 3rd time this Christmas. The
first time, i sctratched it, the second time, this twatty
Polish boy nicked it off me. And I'm such a pathetic laid
back twat that I can't be arsed to do anything about it, coz
he won't give it back.
What does he see in it anyway? He likes shite like The
Strokes.

This should be a fun Christmas though, because Viewtiful Joe
and Mario Kart will be making their way into my heart. Along
with Twin Peaks Volume2.

If you boil everrything down to prrofit and loss no doubt
Christmas does suck forr you. Rreceiving a gift can be
pleasurrable even if you bought the perrson who's giving you
it one back, that can be a pleasurre in itself.
