Christmas makes me sick (edit I changed my mind)

It's for kids or at least it should be for kids.
For adults it's generally forced fun and the painfully forced fun aspect seems to increase every year.

I haven't been interested since I was about 16. Now it's just a period of eating and drinking more than usual.

I wouldn't say I hate it, but at the same time I don't get any enjoyment out of seeing family members I haven't seen for the rest of the year either.

Thankfully this year I should only be seeing my parents. So I can go over there, eat and drink like a maniac, and then get home and do whatever I want to do.
 
Hah. Christmas decorations start appearing very early here too. After a couple of months I'm like just get it over with.
It's kind of nice when you have kids, watching them trim the tree and opening gifts and such. But when single, it was no big deal. I actually worked Christmas 10 years straight as my job gave a big bonus for covering those days. Easy money, and passed the time quickly.
 
The color schemes, the artwork (xmas cards) and those awful christmas trees. Terrible for the eye, I find it nauseating.

Then there's the overeating and drunk family members arguing. That's all there is to Christmas parties right?

I don't know guys but christmas needs to die cause it's terrible. I'd be happy to light a tree on fire during wintertime, but it's not even that cold in Western Europe, it's just raining outside. I can't believe this is supposed to be cozy.

Oh and these super crappy Christmas classic movies really need to stop.

Also I'm not buying ANYONE gifts.

Sure, I have good memories of christmas from when I was a kid. Went to Catholic school, I enjoyed most religious events. I also liked decorating xmas trees...until...

The Thing happened

Well, I'm pretty dead inside and Christmas means nothing to me now.
 
I see i ventured into the bitter and sad gentleman's club

Merry Christmas bud. Enjoy the spirit of this time of year.
 
It's depressing as fuck for me. I make sure to stock up on alcohol so I can grit my way through it. Christmas music can go die in a fire too.
Merry Christmas to you too Mike, you'll be in my thoughts during my dinner toast.

Cheers.
 
Sorry to hear that, TS. Be sure not to come to ever come to the Philippines for Christmas....it lasts 4.5 months here! In all honestly, it really is a commercial holiday, and with not even being very religious, I prefer Thanksgiving much more.

Shit, in January the wife starts counting the months till Christmas again.

Smh
 
There is something nauseating about the shops all playing the same music, staff forced to wear Xmas sweaters, everyone out shopping like crazy buying the same tat. I'm happy online shopping means I can limit my exposure to all that. The family bit, presents, dinner etc I like.
