i'm not into it at all!!!!

1) ungrateful kids that want the best of everything and give nothing back and treat you and your home like shite no matter what you do!!!
2) Inconsiderate parents that love to chuck a spanner in the works with their "We know best" bullshit !!
3) Having to play piggy in the middle with everyone and everything trying to do the best and getting a big kick in the balls for it !! Thank you sir !!
4) To top it all off, you spend a shit load of cash that you could really do without spending on presents for people who think the same as you and on food that goes past it's use by dates and gets thrown in the bin after new year !!!!!

Merry fucking christmas one and all !!!!!!!!!

(Give me a shit load of alcohol and a big pile of snow and i'm sorted for christmas!)

Even going to family and friends to see them is boring, and going to my brothers girlfriends parents house really grips my shit!! I fucking hate them LOL.


Bah humbug!

Roll on the 5th Jan, Hopefully things will be alot better for me!

A bit like Radio One then, but without the appeal in the first place. lol

Seriously though, i'm up for the cup. The older you get the shitter it gets i think. Especially bad for people with lost love ones and distant families- out to you guys. I always make the mistake of hyping myself up too much and when Xmas day comes, i'm like oh is that it!?! I'm going to try keep an open mind this year though and get smashed more...

I remember when I was young everything was shut on Sunday's and Cristmas was a big rush before all the shops shut for a few days. Now everything is open Christmas Eve, Boxing Day and Sunday's, so there's no time to relax anymore and enjoy family times! Just feels like a usual day off.

Christmas to me is an extra excuse for a day off work, nothing more! My son, neice, nephew and Mum get some presents, but even watching them open them doesn't feel like "Christmas", its just like you've spoilt them for one day

Ive hated christmas for 18 years now decided i hate christmas after having to watch my mum on a ventilator fighting the nurses she thought were trying to kill her due to her being deluded and drugged up.

so xmas is shit as it just reminds me of shit times and how lonely i am. New years just as bad because yet another shit year gone by and the way i think, yet another shit year to come. So whats the point of celebrating??? celebrate the fact that id be better off dead
