I propose a game. I will list 19 reasons that Christmas sucks. The winner gives me number 20.
My 12 (plus) hates of Christmas. You Taunted Me F#cker!
1) Christmas music. Itâs all bad. No exception. If I get in my truck and want to dial into a country or Rock or even hip Hop Station, I do NOT want to hear Garth Brooks or The Bossâ Santa Claus is Coming to Townâ or âChristmas in Hollisâ! I want regular music!
2) Christmas f#cks T.V! every good show goes on a mid-season break. Why? Because Christmas specials take over! Most are on hiatus until January
and even worse, those that stay on have a âvery special Christmas episodeâ that are the worst episodes that they ever make. There is a reason The Dukes of Hazzard did 7 seasons with only 1 Christmas episode (I canât believe that episode was a Bo and Luke and not a Coy and Vance! It sucked).
3) You canât shop. Iâm not talking about gift shopping. I mean you canât grocery shop! If I want to stop in at a grocery store for a 12âr of beer it takes forever because despite being in the express line, itâs not enforced. The blue hair in front of me with 50 items and who cant comprehend a Casio wristwatch from 1982 has to f#ck up everyoneâs day.
4) Eggnog. At first, its cool. Itâs a mixer. But without rum you realize you are basically drinking an uncooked omelet! With nutmeg?
5) Bellringers. I get it. You are raising money for charity. Good Charities. I give my spare change. But there are times when I donât have any. Donât give me that look!
6) Carolers . I know itâs not as widely practiced now but it happens. I will not greet you with cookies (See later) or warm eggnog (see above). You will be doused with the iciest bucket of water I can conjure.
7) Christmas lights. People love them! Unless you live next door to the guy who is obsessed by them and makes Halloween through New Years permanent daylight. I f#cking hate you! My Christmas decorations are duct taped cardboard sheets over bedroom windows, you MoFo!
8) Mistletoe. Lets be honest, we all know it is toxic. But tradition says we kiss under it? Great way to start something off, under poison?
9) Christmas Cards. Hate these so much. Never send me one. There are the ones from people you see every day. So why? Then the ones from people you only hear from once a year through the Christmas Card who include the yearly newsletter. Newsflash, if I see you all the time than I donât need more crap in my mailbox or an obligation to display a pic of you and your CHUD family in my home. If I donât know whats happened in the last year and your newsletter is actually informative that I clearly havenât cared in the last year. Get the clue.
10) Fruitcake. I get this from time to time but less and less each year. If you want to avoid this than say this next time someone offers it to you âHereâs a riddle. Whatâs the difference between fruitcake and pussy?... I wonât eat your fruitcake! My Aunt has never given me a fruitcake again.
11) Office parties. You obligated to attend. Either while you could be out spending time you actually enjoy, you are stuck with people you are forced to be around all day even more. If they offer alcohol, you canât drink because you have to stay professional even though you want to get plowed to make it through this hell. However, you know if you do have a couple than you are going to plow the awkward looking receptionist in the supply closet and have to deal with that on Monday.
12) Parades. Nothing more.
13) Those Holiday cookie tins (see #6). Those awful cookies that people pass off as presents. Itâs like eating dirt covered in the most minute amount of frosting and then sprinkled with sh!t.
14) Christmas trees. Real, fake unnecessary debate from the get go. But fake, takes up storage. That much room for about a month out of the year? Why? Real, Pollute your home with needles, sap and the stench of pine. Be my guest, I will not be yours.
15) Family. Do you really like yours? I mean some you do, but all of yours? Admit it!
16) Those Red and White pinwheel candies are everywhere.
17) Christmas movies. Three days after Thanksgiving I want that kid to shoot his eye out⌠I want him to shoot my eyes out! Why is that crappy movie on all day long? Rudolph is just butthurt and if you want to be a dentitst, be a dentist but stop f#cking up my TV time!
18) Christmas sweaters are not âironicâ . They look stupid., Millenialls.
19) Christmas beers. There is so much shelf space. These take up too much. I donât want a cinnamon and ginger pale ale!
20) Fill in the blank...
