Does anyone else here absolutely hate Christmas?

Please, do we have to do the whole spending way too much on stupid gifts mostly for people I barely care about, thing? And the need for two whole feasts, just because we can't make it to both families in one day? And then all the work that goes into having a Living Christmas Tree choir concert. That thing doesn't build itself, or put lights on itself that are timed for a musical performance, you know. And everyone agrees it should be done, but the volunteers to make such a thing happen get thinner year after year.

Seriously, the only things that give me pleasure after Thanksgiving (which we have as a small casual affair, just the two of us) are ringing the bell and yelling "Merry Christmas!" at randos in front of my local grocery store, and going to a quiet candlelight service on Christmas Eve. But that's not socially acceptable. Everything and everyone must be over the top with joy and love and peace, even when the hypocrisy is blatant. Am I just a fucking Scrooge?

Nah I agree with you, once you grow out of the presents it really becomes “obligatory dinner with family day #2“ and my family is incredibly boring and dinner is usually eaten in silence with the TV on, I’m not a religious man so all the jesus guilt rings hollow for me. The aestetics are kinda overhyped as well piss yellow string lights, snow men (despite the fact it never snows) and the faded blow mold santa that my neighbors never take down so like maybe it’s just me but seeing a plastic nativity scene completely stripped of paint in the middle of march feels gross, speaking of which afterwards it’s just a long slog of cold gray skies and brown dirt for the next 4 months

Here's what I did when I had the same problem. I went ahead and troubled myself with all the hullabaloo since I knew it would be for the last time. I pretended to enjoy myself mingling with friends and family, talking about how little Jeffy is getting so big and how I can't believe Miranda is driving already, blah blah blah. The house was decorated and gifts were neatly wrapped and placed under the freshly cut Douglas Fir. Everyone was having a gay old time.

We went together to the candle light mass at the local church as was tradition. I pretended to really feel the holy spirit as I sang along to "Go Tell it on the Mountain" and "Away in a Manger". I suffered through the umpteenth telling of the Christmas story.

Back at the house we gathered round to enjoy our festive feast of roasted turkey and all the sides. Everyone took a hearty portion of foods, adults at one table, kids at their own little table. I acted like it was so adorable seeing the little cousins eating and talking to each other. We all bowed our heads and the patriarch of the family said grace.

Everyone started eating their meals except me and I knew it was time. I hit "send: all" on my messenger. Everyone's phones either vibrated or played holiday tunes alerting the various family members of the incoming message I had just sent them.

It was pictures I took earlier in the day. A picture of me sticking my dick in the turkey. One of the same thing in the mashed potatoes. My balls on the rolls. You get the idea.

My plan worked. My friends and family have not talked to me since and I haven't had to worry about getting them any gay little presents or going to their lame dinner parties anymore.

Hope this helps, pal!

I really don't give a shit about any holidays to be honest. They are all just another day to me. I would be perfectly content spending Thanksgiving or Christmas alone eating a frozen pizza. And not in some edgy contrarian way, I just don't care. I think a lot of it comes from growing up in a mom and pop family business where I was around my parents, grandparents, and aunts and uncles (at least on my dad's side) all day every day. These days I still see both my parents for at least eight hours everyday. To a lot of people I know that the joy of the holidays is spending time with family that they don't get to visit with often and that feeling is completely foreign to me. I can't even muster it in regards to my mom's side, but I feign it for her sake.

There are other reasons but I don't want to dox myself further.

I don't hate it, and while I don't find it sad per se, hearing Christmas music and seeing Christmas decorations everywhere honestly serve more like reminders that another year is about to end, which makes me a bit sad. Perhaps I'm sad about the year ending since I'm still down about what made me down last year.

I’m not as into Christmas as I used to be. I don’t hate it, but it’s really just another day for me anymore. I’ll put on an excited, happy front so I’m not spoiling the mood of my family, but I just can’t get that worked up about Christmas these days. Kinda sucks because I remember how much I used to love this time of year.

I don't want a lot for Christmas
There is just one thing I need
I don't care about the presents
Underneath the Christmas tree

I just want you for my own
More than you could ever know
Make my wish come true
All I want for Christmas is you, yeah

I don't want a lot for Christmas
There is just one thing I need
And I don't care about the presents
Underneath the Christmas tree

I don't need to hang my stocking
There upon the fireplace
Santa Claus won't make me happy
With a toy on Christmas Day

I just want you for my own
More than you could ever know
Make my wish come true
All I want for Christmas is you
You, baby

Oh, I won't ask for much this Christmas
I won't even wish for snow
And I'm just gonna keep on waiting
Underneath the mistletoe

I won't make a list and send it
To the North Pole for Saint Nick
I won't even stay awake to
Hear those magic reindeer click

'Cause I just want you here tonight
Holding on to me so tight
What more can I do?
Baby, all I want for Christmas is you
You, baby

Oh, all the lights are shining so brightly everywhere
And the sound of children's laughter fills the air

And everyone is singing
I hear those sleigh bells ringing
Santa, won't you bring me the one I really need?
Won't you please bring my baby to me?

Oh, I don't want a lot for Christmas
This is all I'm asking for
I just wanna see my baby
Standing right outside my door

Oh, I just want you for my own
More than you could ever know
Make my wish come true
Baby, all I want for Christmas is you
You, baby

All I want for Christmas is you, baby
