1. First off the religious crap is so much more visible (yeah like it's not any other time of the year) and I HATE religion.

2. Second you have to put up with all of this stupid "christmas shopping" shit everywhere. When I need a part to fix my sink and the hardware stores are closed I have to wait in line at Wal-Mart (damn them for being the ONLY department store in town) for 45 minutes to check out because I am in a line with "christmas shoppers". Fuck you. Don't wait till Dec. 20th to buy gifts for the whole damn family. You also always seem to get the checker with the Santa hat and bells on. God, these people piss me off more than the shoppers.

3. Everything is closed on Dec. 24th and 25th. Those happen to be my only days off that week and damn it I want to go somewhere (to get away from my family) but I can't because nothing is open.

4. Every fucking person you meet, be it at work or just in normal life, says "Merry Christmas" to you. I hate that crap. Leave me ALONE.

5. Santa. Isn't is evil of us to make our children believe in something that will only break their hearts in a few years. I think it constitutes "psychological torture". Also it lets kids think in an illogical way. For Santa to do what he does in the span of one night he would have to spend 1 1000th of a second at each home and I am giving him the benefit of the doubt here. It makes kids think that Reindeer can fly (I can't wait to see a defense in court someday where a guy is charged with pushing a Reindeer off of a cliff because he thought it could fly. Hey, this is america and you know some nut will try it). This line of thinking makes children look at the world in an illogical way and america's youth is screwed up enough without this garbage.

6. Getting Gifts. You never get what you want. You get bath products, or a year pass to the apple factory or something else you don't give a shit about. You want DVD's, CD's, Movies, Porno, a new car, MONEY but you never get that stuff. You get a stack of books from the $1 bin at the used book store. You get a John Denver record from your grandma because she can't understand that you don't listen to that kind of shit. You get Don Carvello's Putting Challenge for the basic Nintendo from your mom because "the man behind the counter said it was the coolest game that all the kids wanted".

7. Buying Gifts. Why must I buy gifts for relatives that I don't like and never see anyway? Screw my loser family, I can use that money to pay a bill. They never give me anything useful anyway so fuck them (see above complaint).

8. Traffic. Traffic is SO much worse this time of year. I spend more time yelling at the dumbass in front of me than anything else in my car. The speed limit is 25 so we are doing 20, it's 55 so we all get to do 49. Fucking speed up. Don't you hate it when you pass some jerk for going slower than the speed limit and HE gives you the finger? He was the problem and I get flicked off. God that puts me into a road rage.

So to summarize "I hate christmas".
