Why I don't even like Christmas anymore!

The best way to avoid having to deal with relatives is to move a couple states away. This way if anyone does actually come to visit its probably the ones you like.

1. People who hate xmas...god take your heads out of your backsides.

2. Its time off work to spend with your family or on your own, time to reflect and make changes if needed, time to drink eat and be merry.

3. If thats to much you to do then carry on with your sad self pitying depressed lives until you cant take any more ...then seek help.

4. Merry xmas to you all.

1: Besides being jewish.. I just dont see you guys (xmas-celebrating peoples) ever actually enjoying it. Ya run around town looking for obscure items.. while it's frickin' freezing outside.. tracking down-and-calling aunts and uncles you dont really want to deal with the other 364 days of the year... just to sit down and open stuff one day.. and on that day everything is CLOSED! NO RETURNS! No batteries in case you forgot! No going out to eat at most places! WTH?

2: Time off work? OH.. you mean that day where someone can get a hangover, do laundry and catch up on maybe a FEW more hours of sleep than usual? Yeah.. nice, but.. no. Not nice.

3: Being poor (What did the government say the definition of poor was? Under 18,000$ a year salary-wise? That's about *everyone* under 25 in the states.) in America doesnt really give you much to be thankful for. The phone company and rent is still being charged on December 25th, fuck them very much. :p

4: Happy chanukah.
 
How about this, before christmas, and after the stores start shoving it down your throat like some meth'd up porn star, on a deep throat kick.
I have to go to this "white elephant" party with the relatives. Which translates into people asking what I do again for a living, if I'm busy. (Yes, I'm fucking busy, I haven't had a vacation in over a year!!!) what the weather is like near my house.....
The traditional dinner for that thing is bad spaghetti, which makes me want to run screaming, then comes the real fun.
The white elephant exhange, which is some stupid game that revolves around picking a number, then going in turn and picking a surprise gift, that's been re-gifted or just junk from the closet/garage.
Then the tricky part, someone can "steal" it from you and you get to pick another peice of junk. Yippe.
Then comes Christmas, and the Christmas eve dinner with some of the same people, asking me yet again, if I'm busy at work. Ugh....
Oh and the Ham dinner. Poorly cooked, store bought crap with so much salt my fingers look like ballons the next day.
I just want to stay home, cook a steak, yes a steak, and watch a DVD.

Do they actually call it the "white elephant" exchange? If they do I wonder if they appreciate the irony in it. :1orglaugh

I try to hang and keep appearances but its not what it used to be. Its too commercial and the prices are too high. I don't care what anyone says, salaries have not kept a balance with rise in cost on average. The saddest parts to me is global warming crap changes in the weather in my area, snow at Christmas was the best as a child. Also my parents have both passed and it can be depressing as hell. :(
