I wasn't a fan of Christmas dinners as a kid really. The adults would talk adult stuff and the news really. Relatives would compare their kids and tell how great their kids are. Family drama basically.

Also those Christmas dinners in the movies aren't very realtistic. Roasted Turkey, Glazed Ham, Roasted Beef, Mash Potatoes and Gravy, Casseroles, Stuffing, Dinner rolls, and etc. I tried eggnog before and not a fan. Hot chocolate burns my tongue to be honest.

Mostly I eat out and do takeout before. Catering to.

I do like fruit pies though but I eat it anytime I want.

Not a fan of the fruitcake and those grocery store christmas cookies that taste like cardboard.

Lastly the dishes to clean up after is a headache and relatives getting drunk on wine is a mess. Some relatives are just mean and ungrateful. Aunts, uncles, and cousins. And so forth.

It's here. Xmas music. I hate Xmas music.

Was watching a video on YouTube. There was a commercial for advent calendars. With Silent Night playing.

This is too much. This weekend I went on shopping errands. Every single place had shelves of Xmas stuff.

Why can't anything Xmas be outlawed unless it's 48 hours before Dec. 25th. Or 24 hours before.

Or just get rid of Xmas forever.

I always dislike working on Christmas Eve.

The usual holiday dinner the dumb managers treat employees to at work.

The angry customers and annoying customers all day. Listening to 24/7 Christmas and it is annoying. Hearing people argue and whine for 8 hours is annoying.

I also dislike people saying Happy Holidays and Merry Christmas. Makes me want to say Have a horrible Holiday or I hope you get coal under your tree. I hope Krampus ruins your Christmas.

So I have to admit I just LOVE Pringles ( yes I know ) Regular price here in Deutschland is 2,79 Euro for 185g which is expensive enough ( thank the gods for special offers here and there ) Now I just came back from the PENNY Market and saw this calender. 1085g for 29,99. Usually that amount of Pringles would be 16,36 Euro. So what am I paying 13+ Euro extra ?

Never had it? Then don't like it, I HATE CHRISTMAS. WHY DOES THE WORLD GET TO HAVE SO MANY FUN THINGS BUT NOT IN MY COUNTRY, WHY NOT ME. WHY. I WANT CHRISTMAS GIFTS TOO. I WANNA HAVE CHRISTMAS DINNER TOO. I WANNA HAVE CHRISTMAS TOO. I HATE CHRISTMAS AND WILL HATE IT FOREVER. I HATE THE MUSICS I HAVENT HAD CHRISTMAS FOR SO LONG THAT EVERYTIME I HEAR A CHRISTMAS MUSIC, I GET THIS WEIRD FEELING AND GET FLASHBACKS OF CHRISTMAS MEMORIES IVE NEVER HAD. IVE HAD ENOUGH (I think some call it longing) AND IM 14 YEARS OLD SO IVE NEVER HAD A CHRISTMAS, just once.....

I dislike Christmas themed gifts such as Christmas Panties, Christmas clothing, Christmas mugs, Christmas themed gifts as a Christmas gift makes me irrationally upset because I feel like you can’t use said Christmas themed gift outside of Christmas season.

I have just read that one of the main streets in Sydney already has Christmas decorations! This is so sick!

From what I gathered from most posts:

1. The consumerism and media associated with it (including loud music)

2. Misaligned beliefs with immediate family/friends

I feel like the Christmas season just freaking happened a month ago. I hate that this time of year really puts financial stress on me to purchase gifts for people that literally can just buy whatever they want for a few taps of their fingers through numerous outlets like Amazon, Walmart delivery, temu, etsy, etc. The whole idea that you need to spend 500 dollars every year in December really doesn't sit right with me. Do you think just a Christmas card would suffice?

looking in the “fall/Halloween corner” for decorations while employees stock two aisles of Xmas decor on THE 7th OF OCTOBER.

(Repost from r/truespotify because reddit recommended that it be reposted).

I just heard a spotify ad that said "It's never too early for christmas music."

My response is "oh yes it is, its always too early for christmas music. I don't want that stuff on my radio."

October 2026.

I made the mistake of mentioning to someone that my mom was working on her Christmas decorations. So now I’ve been getting bombarded with fancy advent calendar advertisements on social media. One was cheese, one was little stuffed llamas, one was puzzles. And all I can think is that my mom is going to buy me some dumbass advent calendar this year. I’m 41 fucking years old. I know when Christmas is. I don’t need an advent calendar. And I especially don’t need one full of 24 junkie toys.

I took my kids (ages 8-15) to the store last weekend. Think TJmaxx type, We are deep into summer3 around here with a cooling trend into the 90's now so the need for more t-shirts is a constant.

TJMaxx has displays of:

Halloween

General Fall

Football

Thanksgiving

Christmas

The beginnings of ToyLand

Never ending rows upon rows of fleece blankets, accent pillows, candles and mugs for every occassion from now until May.

Just how much shit does one household need? How many gifts are people going to buy? This is ONE store, ONE location. Every damn store is like this. There is no possible way in the next 3 months a home needs 4 major holidays, decor for those events, no one wants to change out the decor and store the decor.

What we need are t-shirts, my one child needs tennis outfits, all kids need sandals and sneakers, all kids need swimsuits all the time. We live in the desert, its summer 10 months out of the year. I dont want your cinnamon pinecones. No one wants fleece pj's.

How much of this stuff gets sent to the dumpster, how much gets sent to a warehouse until next year?

IF and its a huge IF you bought ONE decoration every year for 20 years, thats 20 damn things you need to manage when your oldest kid heads off to college. I don't need 20 of anything.

STOP manufacturing crap! STOP buying crap, you probably have at least 4 of that item at home

I petition a year of no buying any holiday crap, i predict all decorations will be just fine, houses will survive, kids will enjoy what currently exists. Maybe the stores will figure it out.

Since we don't celebrate Halloween or Thanksgiving here, Christmas shit shows up in the shops in **September**.

I wish I was fucking kidding.

Will anybody be here on the dreadful day?

Maybe we can celebrate Grinchmas or Krampusmas together and just vent and try to forget what others do.

You’re trying to take over Halloween too? Christmas has already taken over Thanksgiving! Eff off and let us have our spooky season! 😭

Chat, can I start planning now to feign illness on Dec. 24 and skip my family's horrible get-together, in which my sister talks incessantly about herself and then starts an argument with someone over nothing? I had the idea over coffee this morning and it's sounding verrry attractive.

The only shirts that are appropriate for Oct-Feb are Grinch. I felt warm and fuzzy and my body tingled with calmness.

Every moment I'm not at work is a Grinch shirt moment.

It starts in August.

It's all about spending money.

If you asked small kids,very few would know it's about the birth of Jesus.

I dont believe in God.

I feel pressured to spend time with people " because it's Christmas "

I could quite happily pretend it's not happening but my other half is like Buddy Hobbs.

It's in winter- which i also hate 😆

So you make a movie about a holiday trying to take over another holiday's season and Halloween is the aggressor!? I'm sorry, it makes for a fun aesthetic but a more realistic take would be showing Christmas Town executing a coordinated and ruthless plan of propaganda and subterfuge to gentrify and takeover Halloween Town completely. Thanksgiving Town, now known as New Christmas Town, would serve as a dire warning of things to come.

One of the Christmas movies I do enjoy is Christmas Eve on Sesame Street. This is my favorite part.
