Maybe I'm getting old but the Bah Humbug! threads start earlier every year. Can't we at least finish complaining about Bonfire night first?

Do you know what I hate about Christmas? Secret fucking Santa! Having to buy a present for one knobead out of a load of other knobeads that you don't like because it's "in the spirit of Christmas". Like fuck is it. If I wanted to waste a tenner I'd give it to a tramp so he could go buy some cheap voddy and get wasted on it, not buy a shitty present for a prize twat that doesn't even deserve the time of day!

Am in my overdraft already this year, but still got to spend at least £15 on secret santa for one of my flatmates and coursemates.

I hate Christmas. I hate the adverts, I have the commercialisation of it, I hate the false niceness surrounding it, I hate that we need an excuse to be nice and generous and that we feel so much pressure to provide material BS around this time more than any.

Christmas can kiss my ass. I'm cancelling it this year just like last year. 2009 was the best time ever. I sat alone for 6 days drinking gin, smoking cigars and watching Ab Fab in my PJ's.

Personally I'd just buy 10 cans of Special Brew and individually wrap them. Maybe throw in a booby prize of Carling so they don't feel it's entirely routine. They might even get their expectations up of getting a Grolsch in one of the packets.

I can't be arsed with it either. Don't get me wrong, the food and drinks on Christmas day with friends and family are great but it's the endless bombardment of tv ads and commercial guff in the 2 months prior that i can't put up with. It definatley is getting earlier every year. Im thinking soon enough they might scrap Halloween just to start the run up sooner.

If they brought that in here I point blank refuse to do it. Sort of thing an office full of women may do.

I'm working away for xmas this year so totally not arsed about it. More annoyed i'll be away for my birthday(a week before) in all honesty.

I keep trying to tell them at work to stfu about christmas but they won't "you have to come to this do and that meal" etc and "we've doing secret santa you've got the name in the envelope" I can;t be arsed with it I don't have the money or the inclination - I DON'T DO WORKS CHRISTMAS. I don;t have dinner on the day so they can get to fuck with it beforehand

I do the christmas stuff beforehand with the kids because I enjoy it to be honest but their dad has them on the day so balls to it I don;t get excited about it

I don't want to sit and be a c*nt all day doing jack shit on my own, there's loads worse than me, some must want help or something - but I don't know where to go - I emailed the salvation army last year but they never got back to me

Gojedo · « **Reply #99 on:** December 13, 2011, 03:14:46 am »

I'm not buying any adults any presents this year. I'll get the missus something naturally as that complicates the day less but I have already told everyone else not to expect anything. If I'm going to break my bank it will be all for the kids, nieces and nephews, grand-daughter, cousins and so on. If I didn't have any kids to think of come Xmas time, I would pack my tent and hit a camping ground near a West Coast beach and stay until it was all over.

It's a pile of shit. Fucking skint so ain't got much to buy for the kids. Was heartbreaking telling the kids that Christmas ain't going to be up to much this year.
So yeah, 'tis the season to be jolly and all that.
Fuck you, Christmas.

I hate the fucker, this year even moreso. Ive just been out on the bike and the town is full of xmas shopping old fuckers doing 3mph, not indicating, not bothering to take any notice of the lights, pedestrians just walking across a road because they feel like it, i mean, fuck me im only on the road where i belong so fuck off onto the footpath. Fuck xmas, fuck christmas pudding and all that shit, but most of all fuck the lot of ya.

Oh and just to put things straight, santa does not exist you whiny snot nosed little shits. He's a fat twat. Just like his wife. If she existed. Which she doesnt. As for them stupid elves, thats slave labour if they existed.Which they dont. Reindeers? Ill give Rudolph a red nose when i pile into the minging pice of roadkill whilst driving a Thrifty hire van. Ill give you Thrifty ya fuckers. I hate xmas.

dioufythebrave · « **Reply #103 on:** December 13, 2011, 04:56:57 pm »

we actually get a half day for our secret santa, with some food and free beer and then go to the pub for the rest of the day, so its not all bad
also the secret santa is minimum spend a fiver, and its a pisstake one so if some twat is pissing you off all year, its your perfect chance to get them back without anyone knowing...

Effes · « **Reply #104 on:** December 13, 2011, 09:15:19 pm »

BAdly avoiding it this year.

Sorted my presents online before December.

Going to France to spent Xmas with me Mum 21st Dec - will avoid it mostly.

I fucking hate Christmas. I don't know anybody who hates it more than me, which is quite depressing. Even the people I know who don't like it at all don't hate it like I do.

Fuck Christmas.

Danny Boys Dad · « **Reply #110 on:** December 14, 2011, 01:14:10 pm »

That secret santa stuff is very dodgy. I can't even bring myself to send cards to the people I work with never mind buy them presents.

They had secret santa in the last place I worked but it was optional, if they tried to make it compulsory I'd have handed my notice in.

I like Christmas but it doesn't apply to the people I work with, they are just people I put up with while I earn the money to spend on people I actually care about.

Big Red Richie · « **Reply #111 on:** December 24, 2013, 01:05:09 am »

Not a huge fan myself either. The food and drink is alright, but everything else in the buildup to it just winds me up (the crowds everywhere, the overplayed songs, the pretending to get on with everyone because it's in the "spirit". Looking forward to Boxing day at around 5:30 though

skooma · « **Reply #115 on:** December 24, 2013, 05:08:25 am »

I don't even care enough to hate it this year. It doesn't even feel like Christmas. It's probably because I can stay away from it since I only go to the gym and work and neither really play the music. I also don't shop so I don't get subjected to it as much.

But yeah, I don't understand how people can stand listening to the same 20 songs on repeat for 2 months of every year.
