anyone find Christmas an annoying holiday?

and the lead up to new yrs can also be annoying with all the 10 best features and prediction bullshit.

Yea I do find it annoying. Bring back Saturnalia

Up until this year I have always loved Christmas. This year for some reason, I feel out of it and Christmas doesn't have the same feel for me. Maybe it will be different come Friday, but who knows. TBW Merry Christmas everyone.

Christmas is a bust for me now cause my mom passed away last year before Thanksgiving and one of my dogs just passed away this past monday, so happy fucking holidays

Here in Thailand, the department stores start playing Christmas music a week before xmas. Nice.

Seems like they start in February in the US.

As it has gotten to be nearly four months of a non-stop "give us all your money" promotion I have tried to turn my back on the entire miserable affair. MFC!

I'm not religious in the least, but the people in my family like to think they are. So it came as one hell of a surprise when they all got cards in the mail from me, trying to remind them that "Jesus is the reason for the season". They didn't get it any more than the rest of the world seems to. It's not supposed to be about the gifts!

Yeah - it's an annoying holiday.

go to Prague....there it seems to be still celebrating!

it's just a consumist holliday for govern profits

Merry Christmas to you too. I would love to see the bastardization of other religion's holidays. Let's make up cartoon characters for other holidays and rip the heart and soul out of their holidays. I would say do that to Kwanzaa, but that's not a real holiday.

the holidays are an excuse to ignore those in need for the rest of the yr

This is the first time I did not enjoy Christmas. I tried to but it just would not soak into me. I went to the mall like a true Christmas bargain shoppper but I came home empty handed. I did not see anything I would like to buy for someone or myself.

Nevertheless, I bought a 52" TV, Sony Bravia with $400 rebate. I long wanted to buy a widescreen TV but I needed a bigger house for the TV to fit in. I moved in to this new house just before Thanksgiving.

Being a Catholic, I have always welcomed Christmas at midnight of the 24th, doing whatever and pigging out on fatty or sugary foods, but not this time. I was asleep at 1030 pm. Christmas day wasn't different. The most exciting event for the day was when a woman with at least 3 piercings on her face, knocked on my door, looking for someone who used to live in my newly bought house. I would have invited her in but my house is still a mess with boxes everywhere and I haven't cooked for the day. Besides, she was a little fat and piercings are not my thing. I just let her go away. I guess I am a bad boy and I did not get my wish from Santa, he sent me a fat whore instead.

I'm glad the Holidays are over.

I always find it pretty boring as well, not just annoying.

..Youre always doing the same crap.

People become meaner during the season.
