Christmas - the things I hate.

Recommended Posts

I did one of these last year, but thanks to our mate CodeZero, it's gone :(

Anyway, I hate Christmas, and here's a few reasons why.

  • shopping
  • adverts
  • Rubbish Christmas songs
  • X-Factor song for Number 1
  • The Anti X-Factor movement trying to prevent it being Number 1
  • People giving me Christmas cards
  • People expecting Christmas cards
  • Places being shut
  • Work Colleagues having time off
  • Loneliness
  • Boredom
  • Taxi Prices
  • Taxi Queues
  • Beer Queues
  • The pressure to enjoy it all
  • Food waste
  • Overflowing rubbish bins (packaging and wrapping paper)
  • Christmas Crackers
  • Christmas hats
  • People asking what Santa got you
  • Trees and decorations going up in November.

God I hate it!

Jeez, I thought I was a Grinch.

Can I add the following

  • Restaurants thinking you want a Turkey dinner every day for a month
  • Restaurants charging extra money for a reduced choice and quality
  • Tinsel
  • Turkey
  • Turkey and Tinsel breaks
  • Relatives
  • Kids
  • The Christmas Play taking up a third of my PE area at school for a month
  • Cliff Richard
  • Christmas Pudding
  • False Fun

The telling bit is in the middle here - loneliness and boredom. Time for this Forum to show its value. Who is going to have Mostyn for Christmas Day?
