[Superphil]

Everything except the time off work

 

[pauli cee]

Everything except the time off work

exactly this!

 

[Hungry Joe]

Selective hat fascism in pubs.

 

[happypig]

The "false bonhomie" you get with loads of people wishing you Merry Christmas when in reality they couldn't give a shiny shite

People who think everyone should take part and keep banging on about!

Everything except the time off work

I even hate this as I am forced to use my holiday when I don't want to take a holiday purely because the law says big shops can't open on that day!

I'd prefer to be working nothing else to do on the 25th, remember married to a Russian and for them it is January the 7th and New Year is a bigger celebration and they do that twice! (1st and 14th)

Having to give out Christmas cards to people in the office, only because they've given you crappy ones.

 

[tinycowboy]

Realising that being with more than four people in a social situation makes me feel very tired.

 

[British Bulldog]

I just hate the fact we have it every year, If we only had Christmas once every 5 years I reckon we'd all enjoy it a bit more.

 

[Prince Monolulu]

Turkey. Hate the bloody stuff. Only once a year am I forced to eat this dry, bland meat 'because it's traditional'. Either lamb and goose this year or I shall be forced to buy Turkey Twizzlers for the good lady. And before anyone spouts off about soaking it in brine for a month and shoving 4lbs of butter under its skin, WHY BOTHER?

 

[Notters]

I think what annoys be most is it's near the beginning of winter, and the rest of winter really drags. It would be ace if they moved it to 25th February.

 

[beorhthelm]

Everything apart from Christmas Eve evening through to Boxing day when I don't have to brave the carnage that is Christmas shopping and crowds.

this.

fairytale of bleeding new york

oh... no, this. *shudders*

The pretence that it is a religious festival

does anyone pretend anymore?

 

[Cheshire Cat]

All of it, but especially the six month lead-in time.

 

[imissworthing2]

Buying presents for c***s I can't stand.
