Christmas

Why is it not socially acceptable to dislike Christmas? I have no real love for the coldest, darkest, wettest time of the year in all honesty.

Sounds like it's not Christmas that you dislike, but Winter. ;)

Don't worry, I am not keen on XMas either :(

Shun the unbeliever! Shun him!

I was going to say this.

Christmas is the bright colourful sparkly fun part thrown in there to give Winter a kick in the teeth.

I like winter and dislike Christmas.

Holidays are what you make it. If you want to choose to hate a holiday, that's entirely up to you, but generally negativity is frowned upon.

Only reason I hate Christmas is because I work in retail. Good lord. -.-

as other say, you dislike this time of year ;3
Thought, I start to dislike Christmas since it get harder and harder to figure out what to buy to people c.c''

For manifold reasons, I don't like Christmas very much either. I'm greatly looking forwoof to the Twelfth Night.

May I recommend listening to Trans-Siberian Orchestra, song name is "What Is Christmas?" in this case?

And there's one more thing that I have discovered
That I would now like you to know
The reason for Christmas I now realize
Is an excuse to tolerate snow, s'NO-ow!

Nope, it's Christmas I don't like. November and January are two of my favourite months :)

[identity profile] lupestripe.livejournal.com 2010-12-09 11:25 pm (UTC)(link)
If that's the case, then why is January my favourite month?

Glad I am not the only one, I feel somewhat isolated at this time of year.

I believe atheist is the thing most feared in the US.

Yeys, we should have a miserable Christmas together ^^

[identity profile] lupestripe.livejournal.com 2010-12-09 11:26 pm (UTC)(link)
I agree - I would rather have a holiday in the summer though.

I work in sports, it's pretty much as hectic.

[identity profile] lupestripe.livejournal.com 2010-12-09 11:26 pm (UTC)(link)
I try and do my Christmas shopping in under an hour. Generally I succeed ^^

[identity profile] lupestripe.livejournal.com 2010-12-09 11:27 pm (UTC)(link)
I love January, I am looking forward to it ^^

[identity profile] lupestripe.livejournal.com 2010-12-09 11:27 pm (UTC)(link)
But I don't tolerate snow. In fact, I can't stand that either *sigh*. Maybe it is just winter I don't like.

[identity profile] salith.livejournal.com 2010-12-10 11:08 am (UTC)(link)
I get that too... but it's more to do with the obsession of present-buying and I just sit there thinking "I'll just keep quiet since I can't afford to get anyone anything".
That and my birthday tends to get overlooked/forgotten/ignored since it's on the 23rd :/

My policy is Christmas doesn't even begin until after my birthday on November 20, but at least it's not subsumed by it. Hope you have a great day ^^
