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!

I don't much care for holidays, they just remind me that I am a sad widower.\n\nAs to the other stuff, yes the USA was built on the ethnic cleansing of the Native Americans, don't see how anyone could deny that.

Ya, Christmas is my favorite holiday, we love buying presents and putting up tons of christmas lights on the house and the tree but then afterwards we suffer for all the money we spent then we dread taking all the lights off the house, it's more fun putting them on, lol....

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.

Everyone is saying that these days and I feel the same.  It is not only because it is around the time of my birthday but there is a different feel to the Christmas season.  \n\nIt is a fact that people act nicer to one another and things they would have ignored or treated slightly during the rest of the year, they seem to become more attentive to and kinder to each other.  \n\nAs life rolls by, the peace appears to be less and less.  A phrase that is being beaten to a frazzle in these times is "There's is no more love!"  People are very much afraid to talk, be friendly and just live as before.  I don't exactly blame them - it's the times in which we live.  \n\nIt's just a shame, that's all!

I don't celebrate christmas but have to work and live through the hype which can sometimes get boring because you jus wanna get on with things but then its someones celebration so im not fussed.

I traditionally leave everything until the last minute.  However, I'm a college student, so I don't really need to do much in the way of decorating or preparing for family to come, except clean a little bit at my parents' house.  \n\nAs far as finding gifts for people, I've already started looking, though I haven't bought anything yet.  Historically, I've waited until the last week or two before Christmas to find gifts, but I'm trying to change that this year.\n\nSo I guess, in reality, I'm still slacking, and just claiming I'm attempting to actually do something this year :-P

Yes i am! As soon as I see the first holiday ad in the newspapers, i know christmas is here! So its become a crass, commercialised holiday that everyone exploits, but you gotta love it. It's the most wonderful time of the year!

I do.  My family was never that close and money is always way too tight for me that time of year.  \n\nI still love the holidays, I just  try to relax and enjoy some holiday time at home as much a possible.

Now you know I love big evil commercial plots and mayhem, boy, but I do love me some mayhem, but I don't think that age should be a factor in your enjoyment of the holidays.  Granted the crass commercialization of the holidays is a bore and can be off putting simply because it all seems to lose its meaning underneath the onslaught of the ads, sales and those horrible little dudes in the uniforms who stand outside grocery stores ringing that damn bell!  Will no one silence these bells once and for all?!!!  \n\nOh...uhm, sorry...where was I?  Oh man, I lost my train of thought...perhaps Santa will bring me another one for Christmas...must dash off and write him a quick note.  \n\nBut before I do...If you would like a couple of teenagers to spend the holidays with you...I can arrange that...their lazy as all get out...but I have a feeling you could whip them into shape.

I do, I do.  Thanks for your wishes.  The only problem is is that after today the days start getting shorter again until we get that "short" day in December.

I know what you mean. The commercialization is annoying. When Halloween stuff is in the stores during the summer and Xmas stuff goes in before Halloween is even over, it's too much.\n\nThe season should be about caring and is to some degree still, but the pressure to buy and spend is unhealthy. We decided last year to just scale down and not spend on those outside our immediate family. There's no point going broke. \n\nI enjoy sending cards and writing little updates on what's going on w/us to family/friends outside the area.\n\nYou shouldn't need to make excuses for how you feel. Celebrate the holiday the way you feel comfortable doing and don't give in to outside pressures. \n\nBy the way, this will be our 1st Xmas w/3 cats, and I'm sure our two newest ones will try to destroy any decorations I put out.
