Vague_Boy Posted December 17, 2010 Share Posted December 17, 2010 Go on , own up, are you like me, and pretend to like to Christmas but you really dont ? I don't even pretend. I think it's an evil time of year, truly evil. Ostensibly a Christian religious festival, the reality is hyperthyroidic materialistic consumerist orgy of greed, gluttony and hypocrisy. The indebted are encouraged to get even further into debt in order to buy shiny imported Chinese tat that they don't really need while the supposed "true" meaning of Christmas is all but ignored. 00:01 AM on Boxing Day morning is the best time of year for me. It's the longest possible time until next flippin' Christmas. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
skinz Posted December 17, 2010 Share Posted December 17, 2010 I make no pretence of hiding my dislike for all things Xmas related. If people actually celebrated the birth of Christ then I'd be more accepting of the season, however, it's a foul jamboree of gluttony, consumerism, greed, fake bonhomie, alcoholism & debt. You see folk battling around the supermarkets and shops because they must get 500 bottles of beer in and little Johnny's latest GoGo hamster and for what? The season of goodwill is corrupted as Peter Mandelson's morality, All the more reason for ignoring it. I don't even pretend. I think it's an evil time of year, truly evil.

Bloomdido Posted December 17, 2010 Share Posted December 17, 2010 No tree and no trimmings for me. I won't be shopping for anything particularly special food wise. What is all the mass buying about? The shops are closed for two days! I will enjoy the time off work and the chance to reflect on stuff. Otherwise, it's pretty much consumerism and conditioning gone mad and people fall for it every year. Birth of Jesus or an opportunity to hit sales targets?

It's cost me £30 for the wife. Then again she's given me £30 to spend .......... Win Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

pattricia Posted December 17, 2010 Author Share Posted December 17, 2010 I stopped buying presents 12 years ago, as nobody ever wanted what I bought them. Everyone has been very happy since then. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
