hkellickI hate christmas.
I hate almost all of it.
I hate the hype. Yeah, what a great idea. Let's pull the Christmas stuff out just as Halloween ends. 2 months of christmas? No one will mind, right? How many days till Christmas? Only 60? Time to take over the radio stations and play all the christmas music we want!
I hate the blatant commercialism. Wasn't Christmas (and for that matter Hannukah) supposed to be a solemn holiday marking an important religious day, not a day about candy canes and presents and christmas lights and all that shite?
I hate snow and ice and cold. White Christmas my ass. How about a nice green christmas with grass still visible, eh?
I hate the music. I swear to god, there are only 15 christmas tunes and numerous terrible covers of them. I want to burn frosty down to the ground, shoot rudolph, melt any sleigh or jingle bells and fuck Santa if all he has to worry about is whether we've been naughty or nice, you fucking judgemental bastard.
I hate the "Christmas spirit". I've seen the Christmas Spirit. It's a myth. People are too busy being general asshats to give a shit about anyone else not them. Christmas Spirit. Ha! If there were a real christmas spirit, you'd see people giving their christmas presents to people who could actually use them instead of being the materialistic little bastards they are. Or, heaven forbid, perhaps just a little of their time or money. Go ahead and ask the City Mission or Meals for Wheels or the Red Cross or any actual helpful organization whether THEY believe in the Christmas Spirit.
Mostly, though, I hate christmas shoppers. I hate the people with 50 different things to buy for 50 different people, each rung out seperately and wrapped and boxed. I hate people who get snotty if, heaven forbid, we're all sold out of the same thing EVERYONE ELSE in the city is sold out of. I hate whiny snot-nosed little kids who scream and wail because their parents are doing shopping for someone besides them and weren't intending to buy them something at EVERY FREAKIN STORE. I hate people who don't understand that if they're exhausted from all the shopping they're doing, we poor clerks are just as exhausted from putting up with a few hundred people demanding this and that and to be checked out NOW and get this down and put this in my trunk and does this come in Black?
Ugh ugh ugh.
Bah Humbug.

Date: 2003-12-16 01:59 am (UTC)Even after sleep I still feel as grumpy as I did. Alot of it was work was a bitch but it still annoys me what people do with Christmas. The month and a half of ONLY christmas carols on the radio, the music itself (I seriously AM sick of christmas music.). The way shoppers go from generally normal and well-behaved to bitchy and berating and nasty.
For me, christmas is just one of those things that someone has blown out of proportion. Keep in mind, it's not like, when I was Jewish, christmas ever had any sort of GOOD meanings for me. It didn't mean anything because I didn't celebrate it.
Anyways... I'm rambling.
