They should empty the jails of rapists and murderers to make room for those bastards.

Every Christmas my single 36 year old cousin gets polluted and sobs hysterically about being alone and wanting a baby.

It's awkward

Your cousin is 36 every year?

Anything you don't like about Christmas?

Lots and lots of things.

But the food makes up for it.

Hate those fcukers. :mad:

Christmas music can go die in a fiery pit of fire, weeks of the same set of about 20-30 songs that have been replayed forever already everywhere you go. It's torture.

I hate that Christmas has turned into a drinking holiday for many.

Heard a sad story recently from a friend who found a 5 year old little girl out on the hard shoulder of the main road passing their estate last Christmas morning. She was in her nighty in bare feet in the snow and ice. They brought her into he house and got her warmed up. Her parents were passed out junk in their house and she wanted to go to the shop to get milk for her breakfast when she couldn't wake her parents. She got locked out of the house and spent most of Christmas day in my friends house, she was starving and cold and in danger when she was found.

This is an extreme example I know but Christmas has become just another excuse for people to drink themselves to oblivion. Sickens me!!! It is a family holiday...ffs

Christmas carolers. I mean, for the ones that actually sing, they start singing some really slow song that lasts forever, while your just standing there at the door awkwardly, and they dont stop staring at you while singing.

Then there's the young fella's that go door to door, 'shout' half of jingle bells at you for about 5 seconds and ask for money.

I don't like when some people refuse to go for the bait - but most do

"Merry XMAS and a happy Boxing Day"

People actually get angry when u say Xmas
It's way to easy!

The fact that midnight mass is on a 9 O' clock :rolleyes: Only in Ireland

Anything I don't like?? Hmmm - let me see....

The traffic! The fact that you can't get into a shopping centre before 8am, ANY day of the week! The fake joy! The fact that people you don't talk to from one end of the year to the next, will smile and hug you. The whole phonyness of it all. The cost! The over-indulgence. The fact that it starts at Halloween now. AAAHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!! :mad:

+1 also the fact that what it is supposed to celebrate (birth of the one true space magician) is vastly overshadowed by the comercial aspect.. I dont much celebrate the winter solsticechristmas, I prefer to refer to it as giftmas

Napper Hawkins · 23-11-2011 03:46AM

Having to be around relatives that pretend they give a toss about you despite the fact you haven't seen or spoken to them since last Xmas.

The gift of an extra stone in weight that you spend the next month trying to get rid of.

Complete alcoholic meltdown.

First world problems eh?:rolleyes:

psychward · 23-11-2011 03:53AM

''Goodwill to all men'' and an artificial joyousness imposed in a fascist manner especially between people who don't give a fück about one another's problems or even communicate for the previous 364 days. The sheer hypocrisy and consumerism of it all.

vampire of kilmainham · 23-11-2011 04:14AM

Likes:
Sitting on a plane and waking up for the last hour of the flight and putting on the Christmass tunes on the iphone.
Being greeted by my Dad at the airport.
Having a pint with pals after a year away.
Seeing the excitment in my daughters face for the week.

Dislikes:
Fake trees
My mother waking me up at stupid o'clock still thinking I am kid
Every meal beign put in front of me cannot be eaten by a human
Having choclate, more food and drink pushed on to me (generally by the mammy)

I used to eat like a horse when we were doing two a day training in college and she still thinks I need it. It's awful as I know she means well and I don't want to waste all her work. First world problem eh, too much food.

Ever think some people might be full of actual, genuine joy?? 'Bah humbug Christmas, how dare you smile at me and hug me!!!!'

I used to hate Christmas. Tiny family, did nothing, was very depressing. Now I love it because its the one time of year when everyone makes an effort with eachother-to spend time with eachother. Its when people have the time off work, or are willing to spend a little extra to come out and socialise, hang out, eat nice food together, watch brilliantly crap movies...Yes it would be lovely if we could all do this at any time of year,and some people will,but others will be burdened by financial or family responsibilities, or not live in the country/county so wont be able to and Christmas time gives us all the excuse

But in the spirit of this thread, people leaving the wrappers in the Roses tin really IS the most annoying thing about Christmas.

kieranfitz · 23-11-2011 12:36PM

The one thong I hate about christmas, and I mean truely hats as opposed to being annoyed by, is working in a supermarket in the run up to christmas. Thankfully this year will be my last one.

sophieblake · 23-11-2011 12:43PM

Not having enough money to buy the kids what they really want and being torn between a cheap imitation of that thing or something else altogether that they didn't ask for.

sophieblake · 23-11-2011 12:44PM

Hey this is a bloody depressing thread isn't it:(

Laois_Man · 23-11-2011 01:01PM

4 things I hate:

1) The TV/Radio/Print ads starting in September

2) The work Christmas Party - it's like having to work an extra 6 hours on the Friday it's on and you feel like a ****in weirdo if you don't wanna actually go and hang out with the boss!

3) New years' eve. I absolutely HATE new years' eve and all the fake celebatory 5hite around it - celebrating nothing!

4) You can't buy a newspaper with actual "news" coz they all get away with re-hashing the ****e that happened months ago in their review of the year!

Haters stop hating. Christmas is all good!

OurLadyofKnock · 23-11-2011 04:24PM

I do not celebrate Christmas at all and never have for years now. Just another day.

Wattle · 23-11-2011 04:34PM

Xmas is fine up until Stephens Day. The week after that does my head in. It's a strange inbetween time when you don't really know what to do with yourself. And then there's New Years Eve of course.....

Anything you don't like about Christmas?
