Officially Christmas

**** off, Christmas. I don't need you or your stupid ****ing festivities. I don't want presents, I don't want to talk about it, I don't want to have to listen to irritating Christmas anthems (although anything by the trans-siberian orchestra is excepted) I don't want to feel obligated to leave the house and freeze my nads off to attend some stupid ****ing social function or to buy people gifts and I especially don't want to have to put up with drunken ****ing morons who can't handle their brandy when I'm trying to revise for an exam that I got an E in last time and I'm not buying anything Coca Cola for advertising this stupid stressful holiday. Bah humbug indeed.

Although I fully look forward to the hatted emotes. They look naked without them.

I feel really sorry for people on here sometimes, certain members seem depressed and angry at nearly everything! :(

The Xmas period (Whenever it starts, doesnt matter to me) is for seeing your family, eating loads of food and getting plastered, i don't know how people can be so angry at it?

Or maybe people have other religions and don't celebrate the Christian holidays? Therefore have no interest in Christmas or it's values, which are never even celebrated anymore.

The food is good though.
 
I wouldn't say the advert determines when Christmas starts. For me it is one of many things that bring back memories of how exciting Christmas was when I was young, along with other such traditions as decorating the tree with Mum every years since I was old enough to do that (we still do it together and I'm nearly 30 now), watching the local Round Table bring Santa round on the back of a sleigh handing out sweets to kids in the street etc. All stuff that makes it feel like Christmas for me. Other people will have other things that trigger memories but those are some of mine and that advert has been around for years and has become a sort of benchmark for when it is getting closer.

I feel sorry for people who don't get excited by Christmas but then I am lucky enough to always have fantastic memories of that time of year. We don't do big presents in our family and never have done, only little token gifts. It's about the getting together, the being excited and relaxed in each others company, having an extra yummy meal and making it special for the kids. It can't hurt to be excited over one day in the year surely?

I love Christmas but really ****es me off is the wall to wall Christmas advertising which began at least a week ago. It’s on the telly, the radio, in the papers and shops. It’s commercialisation gone crazy and enough to turn off anybody. Bah Humbug again.
 
Can we permaban Christmas, please?

Actually, it's just the commercial aspects that need a permaban. It's a real shame that commerce has subsumed the event to the extent that we now have Coca-Cola determining when Christmas is.
