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

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.

well, even though i claim to have no true religion, Christmas is still perhaps my favorite time of the year, and if that upsets anti-Christmas people, so be it.

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.
