....you see the coca cola advert on the TV (the one with the trucks)

...old grumpy ppl walk round grumbling 'bah humbug!' <cough> Sharma, laki,doh_boy <cough>

...films u havent watched since last xmas come back on TV

...it starts getting dark and cold as soon as u get home (meaning ur trapped in teh house with the family much too often :S)

...the walk to get the bus to college every morning (more or less lol) becomes a hazardous minefield of frozen puddles and dog poop :S

I'm afriad most of that crap starts popping up around late october early november (i.e. lets get all the commercial crap for hallowe'en and bonfire night then we can blitz the christmas shite)

Don't get me wrong, i -love- christmas, its the best holiday of the year, decent telly (all the bond films you could ask for), pressies (w00t), lots and lots of beer an chocolate etc etc..

What i -HATE- is the fact that ppl seem to think that cristmans -starts- in bloody october. IT DOESNT !!! the christmas period runs from december 23rd to 2nd January emcompassing both chrimbo and new year, I always take these 2 weeks off from work to fully enjoy christmas with friends and family.

I -loathe- the commercialisation of christmas, ppl seem to forget that its the celebration of the birth of christ -not- lets get loads of money from all the ppl buying pressies for the kiddies.

A prime example of this is blackpool. I remember as a kid going down blackpool looking at all the lovely lights of a -christmas- theme and I was truly in awe of them. I thought it was the best place on the face of the planet. I went last year and noticed that for at least the first half of 'the golden mile' -all- the lights were fucking ronald bloody mcdonald kicking a frikkin football -WHAT- has that got to do with christmas at all??? -WHY- must we subject the younger generation to crap like this. I -do not- want my kids (i dont have any yet thank god i'm only 23) growing up thinking that christmas = mcdonalds.

I could go on but i think its better to stop there as my manager is looking at me funny due to the frantic typing of my fingers and wondering wtf i'm doing

in summary:

Christmas is good, but keep it to christmas please.

NOTE: Please destroy -every- bloody singing bastard 'novelty' christmas thing. they truly are the work of satan

the shortest day of the year is the 8th of december, the longest day is xmas with your relatives.

 

[old.job]

The worst bit for me is the presents, I hate buying them and I hate receiving them, I am just so crap and pretending I like them.

A little devil inside of me just want's to shout

'WHY DID YOU BUY ME THIS SHITE!!!'

Oooh I hate -xmas eve, all the bars are closed, all my friends need to be with their family and I can either go to my Dad's and get my mom sad or go to my mom and get bored there and in a fight with the rest of the family.

I usualy get out of it by either working or hoping my friends get in to arguments with their family and come to my place, to just drink beer and play pocker.

My house is the last sane place in town, anyone trying to bring x-mas stuff in my house or moaning about the xmas spirit gets kicked in the nads(females get kicked in the rear) and twown out the door


Bah humbug !

 

[Cyradix]

Dear gods I also feel the urge to sing now

[singing]
Maybe next year I'll give it to someone
I'll give it to someone special .
[/singing]

Make it stop!!!!

 

[old.Tohtori]

I'll just point you towards the search button and my post about x-mas...

Also would like to add to those who drink beer is a part of xmas...f*ck you.

 

[keela is]

Every fuuc*ing teacher/student/parent/dog start to tell you:

[the_smurflord]

....when every 2nd advert on TV is for perfume

....when all the nice stuff you like to buy in the supermarket has been got rid of to make way for crackers and tinsel

....when catalogues of Charity Christmas cards come through the door......oh wait....that's normally in July.

Christmas is the continuation of capitalism by other means.

 

[Sharma]

Christmas is just a time where you can sponge off parents a lot without them kicking off about costs.
