Hell NO!!  Imagine planning your diary the month before?!!!  'Sorry no Matilda, can't do tennis that date, I will be in the ground then, how about the Sunday before??'.  Terrible.  Besides, I prefer getting surprises.

My mom's birthday is Dec. 24th. She DID NOT allow us to combine the two- birthday wrap, etc. I have three other relatives within a week of Christmas, including one on the Big Day itself. Fortunately, in my opinion, NONE of them allow the days to be 'blended'- although cake and ice cream for a Christmas meal dessert is a bit unusual!\n\nIt can be a pain, but it is only fair... UNLESS the 1 gift is REALLY nice AND it 'feels' fair to him and his siblings!\n\nOthers do indeed do 'fake' birthdays at other times in the year, but this is not an easy thing to explain to a young child.

I'm missing my little sister who committed suicide in August.  The holidays were HER season...she loved them. Can't wait until the next year or two has gone by. I won't miss her any less, but hopefully the pain will diminish with time.\n\nAs far as hating the holidays...  I do!  I have a family that either plans things the night before which aggravate me and I find inconsiderate or, they want to do a huge meal extravaganza that takes two days to prepare and another entire day to clean up after.  It just isn't feasible with everyone working and running amok before the holidays. Everyone bitches about it but no one wants to change to an easier routine or newer traditions.

I stopped enjoying it as a teenager.  I never have any money and I feel bad when my family gives me expensive gifts.  More than half the family has died, is in a nursing home or has become estranged so it's not the same anymore.  Thinking of the past makes me sad.  Drunk drivers worry me on every holiday.  I start getting stressed before Thanksgiving and it doesn't let up until New Years Day.  I usually wish they'd go away but I also wish I could just relax and enjoy them. - Oh yeah, I think about suicide (seriously) every time I see a Christmas related commercial/program on TV.

I absolutely agree! I celebrate them because there sort of forced on.  My family just sort of shows up every freak'n Holiday & my dad's always calling and asking "so what are we going to do for...?"  I swear they do it out of spite because they know I hate holidays.  \n\nLike you said, every day is worth celebrating, not just some designated, commercialized day.  They cost to much too celebrate, I'm a tight a** and I hate spending my money on crap i.e., easter baskets, candy, table clothes, it's all sh**.\n\nI don't mind Christmas though, not for the religious associations, I just love that time of year, the cold weather, the warm food, and the fireplace.  But that's what I do during the winter anyhow.  \n\nThe most disturbing to me though, has to be Valentine's Day.  Good lord, I despise that day!  "Oh, honey, I love you so much today.  Here's some flowers and a box of chocolates I pickup at the grocery store." F*** all that!\n\nIf you love someone so much why wait until fr'kn Feb 14 to show it.  Bring them chocolate, flowers, love notes, sing them a song, cook them dinner, every day.\n\nMan I hear you!

Me, i dont like christmas, infact i bloody well hate it. \n\ni hate the fact that Christmas starts in mid November.\n\ni hate the fact that i wont be ableto walk around my town centre without falling over irritating gits singing christmas carols and rattling tins uner my nose.\n\ni hate the fact that it costs me a fortune very year.\n\ni hate the fact that at work people who have been stabbing everyone in the back all year send cards out like they're Mother Theresa.\n\nbut most of all i hate sitting with people who dont want to be there at the family get-together at Christmas exchanging shitty presents that i dont want and pretending to be thrilled that someones bought me a book about interesting walks in East Anglia - well fook me sideways thats going to come in handy in West Yorkshire isn't it?\n\nOh and i hate turkey, and all the crap films that are on the tv.

You poor Dear! The road to enjoying Christmas is short. First you must get rid of all annoying relatives and friends. Only buy for the person whose name you drew out of the hat. (this works best when others put their names in as well, You can't just put your own name in) It doesn't work that way lol. This helps a GREAT deal on budget. Think happy thoughts. Enjoy those you LOVE and never take them for granted. You never know when anyones time is up on earth. A lady at my bank whom I spoke to quite often (only in her late 50's) just had a heart attack. So take every minute and enjoy!\n\nForget the commercial aspect of Christmas. Make gifts for people. The things I like the best are made by those I love. They are unique one of a kind gifts from the heart. Ideas - paint a picture, sew something, take a nice photo of something that means alot to you, create a clay coffee mug, etc. Good luck!\n\nMerry Christmas to ALL!!!!!

No, absolutely no one else in the world was born on that date.  You are one of a kind!\n\nI do know someone born on December 16th, but it wasn't in 53.  So, clearly, you really are the only one.  How does it feel to be so special?!

Me too ! Kind of.....\nI really don't talk to anyone in my family except my mother,my husband ,and my three kids. The rest of them ,,,,every once in a blue moon. and when we do see them,it's only for Christmas! I get tiered of the same ol' crap too! Cause it IS the same thing every year ! With the same ol' Jingle bell guy with that anoying bell ding a ding a ding a ding a ding a ,,trying to rip you off your loose change that you might have in you pocket!\nI know what your sayin' dude! \nI'm with you, I mean if it wern't for having to buy for so many distant reletives then maybe I could have that $$ on me to blow on something that I deserve.\nYou wrote a good one!
