Things that annoy you about Xmas

Tis the season to be jolly, but what really annoys you about Xmas??

For me it's John Lennons song War is Over. "And so this is Christmas, And what have you done?, Another year over, A new one just begun"

There's still another week left John, catch a grip of yourself.

Blue outdoor Christmas lights. In the distance, they look like a serious incident.

People who spell Christmas with an X.

I generally like Christmas. I hate that idiot companies/shops start advertising and putting up Christmas decorations in fcuking September!

weldoninhio · 19-12-2015 08:09PM

Ah you have to wear a Xmas jumper, it's a bit of craic. No it's a stupid looking jumper. I've never been anywhere at any time where a jumper has impacted on the craic had.

I keep wanting to pull over the car, like there's an ambulance or police car behind me :rolleyes:

Shops like warzone/
People buying Food like it's the end of the world
Too much chocolate/sweets being forced onto you
Forced craic in overcrowded pubs

And worst of all work nights out/Xmas parties

The whole fcukin lead up to it, it's grand on the day, and the days after, but the **** before is a load of me bollix tbh

Jim Bob Scratcher · 19-12-2015 08:11PM

Christmas jumpers and the 12 pubs shoite.

Naos · 19-12-2015 08:11PM

People who say 'Chrimbo'.

"Are you all set?"

"Have you all done?"

"Are you all ready for Santa?"

"When do you finish up?"

Bunch of Scrooges the lot of ye! 😄

The worst thing that can happen over Christmas is that I put my sticky little fist in the tub of sweets, swirl around the metric tonne of wrappers that have defied the laws of physics to inhabit it, and come up with what appears to be the last goddamn sweetie, and it's a disgusting abomination like a strawberry cream.

Even worse is when someone (usually a child, and you're not allowed beat them up), puts their hand in after you, and you say 'Ha! Tough! I got the last one!' and they pull out a chocolate caramel or something else you really love. Little gits.

War, famine, disease, pestilence - nothing on this.

Yeah, anyone who purposely pays money for the a horrible geansi that can only be worn maybe once or twice a year should be shot with balls of their own shoite.Twice for d!ckheads in a group, all in the same poxy jumper...

People who think they are great as they have got their Christmas shopping done in October/November, I mean for feck sake get a life.

That you can't bitch about Christmas without some idiot calling you a Scrooge or a Grinch.

maudgonner · 19-12-2015 08:41PM

Ten minutes after I leave the house, the little creeping doubt kicks in. Did I unplug all the lights? What about the ones in the back room? I distinctly remember unplugging them, but maybe I'm remembering when I unplugged them yesterday?
Spend the rest of the day convinced I'll come home to a blazing inferno. It's like the hair-straightener/gas-cooker paranoia multiplied by a factor of ten.

wetlandsboy · 19-12-2015 08:41PM

I'm originally from a small town in the west of Ireland. Every Christmas I always see the various sons and daughters out in the local, and note that they always have that 'I'm back in the sticks away from my sophisticated city lifestyle' swagger about them. They constantly seem to wish to project an impression of success. Really annoying.

I had all mine done in the first week of December but not so I can be a smug ahole about it. The only reason I do mine early is because I just can't stand the bedlam of Christmas shopping once you hit the 2nd week of December. Now I've got the whole of next week to chill and no stressmass misery to endure.

Andre 3000 · 19-12-2015 08:45PM

Those people who're all over you like flies on sh*t for the Christmas period, pure fake niceness and the like. Then as soon as the new year boils down they go back to never even making eye contact with you or saying hi and showing their true colours. In short I hate the fakeness that Christmas brings out in people.

OneArt · 19-12-2015 08:50PM

It's Christmas!?

****e...

You and I have vastly different interpretations of the word 'abomination'! :P

Went to see Star Wars yesterday and the majority of the people were wearing Star Wars t-shirts, etc. Only one person in the cinema looked ridiculous.

Who was it?

The f*cking idiot in the christmas jumper.

I've often chatted with friend/colleagues about their weekend. Sometimes they'll say they had the best weekend ever. I've never asked what jumper they wore so I could have the same craic the following week. I actually have to go to a party tonight where you "have" to wear a Xmas jumper.

Don't, just piss them off for the sake of it.

It's one of them where if I don't I'll be tormented for the night. Thank god a friend spent €30+ on a jumper for me last year as a joke because I'm a "grinch"
