Why I don't even like Christmas anymore!

Christmas Rant Coming:

This is what Christmas has come down to in my ****** now, and it makes me not even want to celebrate it anymore..

Not going into all the bullshit background...Christmas eve is at my house, as usual, which is fine, but for some reason my parents insist on telling me who will be invited and that I need to personally invite people (aunts & uncles) that I don't like, and that I only see once a year (christmas) if that!

I never see any of my Aunts & Uncles on my ***'s or ***'s side. Honestly, most of them, I don't even care to spend time with, and my parents don't even enjoy spending time with their brothers and sisters, but for some reason, I'm told that I need to invite them to Christmas every year. I'm over it. They never invite any of us to anything, and I don't even hear from them the rest of the year, but they'll show up and eat and ***** at my expense...

It may be bad Christmas spirit, but this is the last year that any of them get an invite. Half of them don't even have the decency to respond to the invitation...I send them an invite, and they tell my *** or *** at the last minute that they can or can't make it. Everyone wants Christmas to be like it used to be back when my Grandparents were alive, and everyone got along, but it's not like that anymore, and it's such bullshit to try and fake it once a year, so I'm not going to be a part of that anymore. They can all do that somewhere else from now on, and I'll enjoy Christmas with my wife and friends. Thanks for listening to my rant. Happy Holidays everyone...seriously.

That's how my ****** is. My Grandma is the only reason that we get together for the holidays. When she passes, my ****** will never see eachother.

I **** most of my ******, so I don't see why we all have to get together just because my Grandma is alive. It has never made sense to me and never will. Even she doesn't like most of my ******, so why invite them?!?!?!

Anyway, I'm the same way. I don't like getting together with the whole ****** because nobody wants to be there anyway. We just do it because that's what you're "supposed to do" on Christmas. Well, fuck it. I'd much rather just spend time with my immediate ****** instead of people I only see once or twice a year, who I don't give a fuck about.

Wow, I hope I never feel that way (nothing against you). My last grandparent ****** away this year and the holidays that we have celebrated are still the same as normal. My whole ****** is pretty close in general so I have no idea how long we will all meet up, but it isn't really an issue with me to be honest.

I'm tired of the orgy of consumerism that has become Christmas. I'd like to take Christmas off one year...do nothing but chill. Christmas Day is one day. I can buy whatever **** I want the other 363 days of the year...

i agree christmas is not what it used to be.

My grandparents (***'s side) were really the only reason we all got together also. My grandpa died a couple of years back, and there was a big falling out over the will and other things, and no one has really done much with each other since. Not that we all hung out that much before that happened. I just think it's dumb to act like things are the same as they once were. You can't pick your ******, but you can choose to be around them or not...

My wife's ****** is from the East coast and they're all so nice. I'd much rather be back in Jersey with them for the holidays. That would be a fun, ****** style Christmas. Oh well...I guess I'll just ***** a bunch of beers so I can deal with everyone on xmas eve.

 

[Legzman]

My ****** simply bores me to death! I'm the odd one in my ****** I guess. I'm nothing like the rest of them. They are all nice as hell and maybe that's the problem. They're to fuckin nice! I can't stand it!

Go ahead...I dare you. It sucks going thru Christmas without getting/receiving any gifts. I've been there.

 

[D-rock]

At least you can take solace in the fact that it only come around once a year. Once it’s over you have the entire year of it being not Christmas.

 

[Becks...poamr]

I feel your pain...that's how I'd feel when I was in WI.

However, in the 4+ years I've been in NJ, I miss my ******.

Well, I always miss my Mommy, sisters and *******.

Holiday time I start to miss most of my aunts and uncles.

 

[Imhotep]

i love christmas. all the festivities, the act of kindness, hugging granny tep and her wicked breath, the bad food uncle tep makes, and lets not forget all the little teps that just make my day with there obnoxiousness. yep, how can one not love this time of year?

 

[tartanterrier]

I only get Christmas Day off from my work.So that's pretty shitty.

But I do love Christmas dinner though.Thats what I love best about Christmas now eating till your a flump and then making the New Years resolution to lose weight

 

[whalers90]

i know the exact reason,i made my ****** cry by saying this.
Christmas is not about what it was originally (jesus birth) it's about business now and about how to turn a buck.

CHRISTMAS IS COMMERCIALIZED

 

[pancha]

we live in a capitalistic society. evryone is looking for a way to turn a profit!

as for xmas, I am lucky enough to enjoy it. we all try to just buy something for the ****, and if the adults get presents, then if everyone is financially able to handle it, we have a secret santa and we set a price min and max! haven't done that in a few years, but it is fun!

My moms ****** lives in the area, but her parents are divorced, so we have xmas eve with one side and xmas day with the other. My **** lives mainly in Texas and Mexico, so we never really see them. They, however, were often bickering and fighting over petty ****. even when ****** members were sick and on their death bed, some people wouldn't let go of their grudges! so i am glad we don't have to put up with that!

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.

I know someone that for a few years decided to take December to after New Years' off to do some world travel just to avoid Xmas.

 

[cabey]

People who **** xmas...god take your heads out of your backsides.
Its time off work to spend with your ****** or on your own, time to reflect and make changes if needed, time to ***** eat and be merry. 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.

Merry xmas to you all.

One of my older sisters always has a birthday cake for Jesus for dessert.
