What with it being the season of goodwill and all that, I've decided to state my hatred for Xmas and all that comes with it. I hate having to deal with all the happy bastards at work, ringing up to order their stupidly expensive bikes for their unappreciative partners/kids/parents. I had a guy order online but got his own address wrong, so I rang to speak to him and got his wife, told her who I was and that I was calling about her helmet order, then got in trouble for ruining her xmas surprise! P**s off. Who buys their wife a cycle helmet for xmas anyway? And if its such a big surprise why put her name downin the contact box?

I am sick of seeing stupid lights on peoples houses, and driving slowly because sad muppets are driving at walking pace looking at said stupid lights. Fed up of seeing winos dressed as a fat burglar in a red suit just for an excuse to have kids on thier laps. Fed up of hearing that toothless bastard pogue git wailing on the radio (don't mind mariah though.....).

To take the absolute p**s now the local council have decided to take it upon themselves to hold a "late night shopping fayre" in the village, closing it completely. I have never heard of a late night shopping fayre, nor know what this has to do with xmas? This means I cant get near my house, and there is currently a ferris wheel full of happy,smug little children in our car park, and some giant teacups in the spot where my transit van should be.

Great.

Merry fricking xmas everyone.

Nice rant that one, I'd give it 8/10

Do some people think the world is going to end at/after Christmas? I mean I go to buy some normal packet bead, and find the shelves empty?

Then notice people with dozens of loaves in their trolley 'just' because of Xmas. WTF?

Dont even get me started at the Xmas sales that start midnight on the 25th ?????

Ha yes so true. Which reminds me of another thing I hate, Boxing day sales. People sleeping outside shops to get cheap sofas. Ever heard of Ikea? It's cheap there every day....... and they serve meatballs. Enough said.

I am not normally this miserable by the way

Christmas is indeed a complete con.

How many people actually go to church, or even celebrate the Jesus bit anymore. Just a few crazy christain types probably in their zimmer frames or multicoloured buses.

Its all a commercially based scheme to get us to spend money on crap and keep the economy turning over in our consumer driven society. Some of the retail numbers are frightening - something like half of the years sales in 4 weeks.

Christmas should be abolished and replaced with a national holiday in the summer when peeps can do something with the time off other than watching rubbish telly whilst it chucks it with rain outside.

Spot on. Once the shops have had all your money they will have easter eggs in the shops by boxing day

Christmas is what you make it though, isn't it. If you want to bankrupt yourself, thats up to you though, if you are stupid enough to pander to all your kids wants, thats up to you too.

As for people who go to church on Christmas Day, probably far more than attend on a regular weekly basis. I know quite a few who do, as they like to think they are 'religeous' and do their bit over Christmas.

You can't blame shops for trying, just make Christmas what you want of it.
