i find it strange

2007-12-26T01:24:24Z

that santa and satan are spelled with the exact same letters. not becuase of that, but because santa misguides children away from the idea of love and acceptance that jesus is all about. so you see santa is deeper than the seemingly innocent fat bastard he appears to be, dont judge his book by his cover in other wordsi think. or maybe im just crazy, im still out on both of these

Proven Techniques For Avoiding Christmas?

2007-12-22T00:04:06Z

As we begin to slide into homebase on this most dire of holiday seasons, I am inclined to ponder on the ways that poor souls like ours can manage to avoid the unnecessary confrontations, expenses, and headaches which have become more a part of this celebration than a single thought about the birth of Jesus Of Nazareth (who was probably born in March anyway).

Personally I try to not be available for the ACTUAL Christmas eve and day. Being an entertainment professional in the entertainment capital of America, this is quite easy. I simply say to my family:

• "I'd looooove to be with you all for Christmas, but I'm BOOKED."

Needless to say this doesn't work if they ever should decide to travel to Vegas and visit *me* during the holidays for a change.

• Then there's the "72-hour Christmas Flu", which I hear can be quite contagious.

.... Are there any other techniques one might use? How are *you* planning to dodge ChristMuck this year?

OH NO! HERE IT COMES!

2007-11-22T16:15:17Z

Brace yourselves ladies and gentlemen.

Because no sooner will you begin to digest the Thanksgiving turkey than you shall be accosted with advertisement and hype for the most insidiously mismanaged holiday of the year. The one that was meant for a saviour and was hijacked by plunderers. The one that preaches generosity while promoting materialism. The one that celebrates someone's birthday by killing him. The one that makes you broke, or ashamed, or both. The one that pits nation against nation and rends families asunder.

It's Kritmas time.

I saw the candystripes and snow displays at a local store today... and we haven't even had Thanksgiving yet! Greedy ratfuckers...

Whose family is beginning nuclear meltdown????

2007-01-01T07:13:11Z

Well, so far, my cousin is crying, laying on the couch having a meltdown. She's the Annette Benning character in "American Beauty." She expects Ozzy & Harriet holidays every year. And, for some reason, those never morph beyond the screamfests.

Mom is not speaking to me, shoving wrapping paper around angrily and blasting Xmas music to drowned me out.

Other cousins (family drunks) have begun the binging and won't stop until after New Years.

Isn't this a lovely season. Grab your popcorn and watch the show.

why I hate christmas

2006-12-15T23:10:30Z

well I first want to say hi and I'm so glad that there really are others out there who feel the way I do. I was beginning to think I was on my own here. I'll give you a little background on myself. yes when I was a kid, I LOVED the holiday. Why? well duh, presents. You give me some kids who know the real meaning of x-mas and I'll kiss your ass, and if you do, let's refer them to a child psychologist immediately! But as I left childhood, entered adulthood and have seen the light, x-mas is alot of commercialized, over indulged nonsense. I have 2 children and a husband that think x-mas is so great. I have to put on my fake holiday smile when I would like to hibernate until New Years is over.

This is going to be long so I'll warn ya now! First, it all begins with advertising. It's on t.v. it's in the paper, it's online. I'm talking about these retail assholes who start "slashing" prices in October! So you are then forced to hear the aggravating x-mas commercials before celebrating Halloween. WAAAY overdone.

to continue with the retail industry, we now have the day after Thanksgiving as "Black Friday". Anyone who even remotely goes near the parking lot of a mall on that day is a moron. Nutty ass women pushing each other down for the latest crazed, sought after, overrated toy that their kid will most likely break in a few days. And good luck finding parking spaces too. Some dumb bitch in a gas hog SUV taking up at least two parking spaces. I mean, look, if you need 40 acres to park your vehicle, GO BUY YOURSELF SOMETHING MORE PRACTICAL. These are the same people that drive around all day spending their husband's money and dragging their brats everywhere. So parking should be added to the hate list.
once you get into the store, your ears are filled with awful x-mas music. Lights and tinsel and fake trees and people. ick. all of this torture for what? gift giving. Spending hard earned money on people who will either break, return, or never use their gift. I have to stress about paying bills and putting food on the table for these people? I don't mind doing it for my kids, but for Cousin Johnny, who you never see and could care less about, it's not so fun.
I just don't understand the craze w/these adults. It's insane. The kids, sure, they live in an innocent world where bills and stress are non-existant. But adults have to figure out how to make ends meet all the while spending every last penny on a holiday like x-mas. I just don't get it. So I say BAH FUCKING HUMBUG!!!!!

Chew Mushrooms With Siberian Shamans For Jesus!!! At Wal*Mart!!!!!

2006-12-13T22:48:33Z

I know it's old news, but I had to google the story of how Wal*Mart got flack for changing their "merry christmas" to "happy holidays". I discovered something completely new about this holiday:

http://www.foxnews.com/story/0,2933,175236,00.html

"Santa is also borrowed from the Caucuses, mistletoe from the Celts, Yule log from the Goths, the time (of year) from the Visigoth and the tree from the worship of Baal."

(((However, the traffic jams around the mall are 100% American)))

Honestly, had I known that the holiday originated with Amanita Muscaria mushrooms in the Siberian Steppes, and not, as the propaganda dictates, in Finland with a sweet generous village elder, I would have spent the last several cristmases thrasing about and rolling my eyes to the back of my head in the true spirit of the season! Dang.

And you can guess what kinda gifts *I* would be bringing to my friends!

This year...

2006-12-13T00:53:49Z

So far I actually don't feel as apprehensive about Christmas this year as I normally do, tho' I'm not sure if that's due to mostly having avoided the commercial onslaught thus far, or just being resigned to the fact that Christmas has pretty much always sucked for me after about 1983 when I got that Knight Rider electric racetrack set. How do you top that, really? Just went downhill from there.

The holidays have always been a source of a lot of pointless tension and anxiety for me. Family shit. People not honoring my wishes that they not give me gifts. Then giving me completely stupid gifts. Or gifts that are sort of like things I might want or use, but not the *actual* thing that I would be able to actually make use of. (I don't believe that "It's the thought that counts" bullshit when I've just been burdened with something I will never, ever use) And then I have to haul that shit back with me on a plane and it sits in a closet taking up space with a patina of guilt covering it, simultaneously daring me to throw it out yet chiding me for thinking such heartless thoughts.

What did I just say?

I'd like, for once, to have a Christmas that isn't full of bullshit pomp and circumstance, riddled with sheets of negativity being dredged up from the past, force-feedings in place of genuine communication, comprehension and understanding, and where people aren't desperately clinging to absurd "it's the most wonderful time of the year" illusions and delusions when all evidence clearly points to the contrary.

That would be nice. That would be something worth celebrating.

Why I hate hate hate hate & hate Christmas (and Thanksgiving and New Years)

2006-12-09T20:27:57Z

1) I was made to wear WOOL on all holiday occasions from my earliest memories (not kidding or exaggerating)

2) For control purposes, ALL of my presents were numbered. Have any of you ever heard of such a thing? How's THAT for eliminating the main element of joy (spontaneity) for kids during Christmas?

3) I was FORCED to perform musically by a drunken mother who thought it amusing for her to 'direct' that event with a butcher knife (seriously).

4) ...and more.

5) Ugh

Very happy to see so many others who feel the same way I do about the entire holiday quagmire.

Why I hate Christmas.

2006-11-26T19:57:19Z

Shops full of phycho bitches with screaming kids, sharp elbows and heels buying over commercialised junk. Travelling home for the 'family' Christmas to a house full of overly stressed Parents who have spent a fortune on 'the feast' for a bunch of ungrateful-hateful inlaws who don't lift a finger (or open their wallets) to help. My Father on the verge of a heart-attack. My Mother on the verge of tears because 'its not like the good old days'. My brat cousins running riot through my parents house while their so called responsible parents and guardians get drunk on liquor they haven't paid for.

The cost, the noise, the mess, the over indulgence, the screaming, the aftermath, the complete disregard about what Christmas is actually about.

Yup Folks - I hate Christmas. Whats more.... my birthday is Christmas eve.

Traffic... jingles... maxed-out credit...

2005-12-29T22:22:19Z

I can't stand the stress involved with the whole Christmas concept. I mean, the feeling of OBLIGATION to participate in a spending frenzy for the benefit of family members you'd rather be *away from* during your four-day vacation.

Or how about the endless traffic jam that makes you crawl at the pace of 3 blocks in 1/2 an hour, scowling bitterly withthe other steaming commuters? Even if you're not going gift shopping, you deal with the traffic hell.

No mention of the jingles. If I hear F**king Fred Astaire one more time, I'm gonna trounce somebody.

Another horrid holiday obligation. You're supposed to get laid. If you don't have a significant other you're supposed to have a 1 night stand. You're supposed to have plans to go to a crazy party and buy $100 bottles of champagne. You're supposed to get trashed. You're supposed to kiss somebody at midnight. ARG! That's the worst one! I hat that one! It's SO mean! I can visualize it right now: everyone else around me kissing while I stand there like a total looser. Been there, done that. Fuck that shit. I'm gonna be at home sleeping because there's nothing lonlier than not having a new years kiss and watching the ball drop by yourself in your 1 bedroom apartment.

My new years is almost always horrible. Last year I was at an AA meeting. The year before I was performing at a horrible party and getting totally disrespected. The year before that I was at the hospital nursing my good-for-nothing ex back to health. The list goes on and on...

Christmas presents

2005-12-29T16:56:27Z

What are you getting/giving for christmas??

As is the case every year it is always a scramble at the last minute...especially for immediate family members. I bloody hate it. I try to make as many gifts as possible..but can only do so much.

I have no earthly idea what we are getting for Flakey's family.
I have an assortment of dusty Mexican artifacts and a few sock monkeys for mine.
I need to make sock creatures for Flakey's nieces.
Dang..
our roomate of awful hygene is getting socks and Chimay...we wanted to get him a whole toiletry kit...and still might.
Our roomate who loves snorting salt water up his nose is getting a neti pot...(finally)

Flakey got a Playstation 2..so he can play his games in bed (next to me while I sleep)
I got myself an electric ukulele with my monkey money...woohoo! It is great!

After the shopping anxieties are over, the presents hastily unwrapped and summarily forgotten, and there is nothing else to do but hang out together.

My uncle and I just came back from a walk along the beach. We're all together in the living room, watching a vintage film. That's what Xmas is about, for me. Time with beloveds. All the consumption ritual can kiss my pooter.

In that spirit, Merry Christmas to you all. And may we remember our departed too.

Gift Cards

2005-12-29T00:31:08Z

They represent everything that is wrong with this holiday as we know it.

Gift cards are anonymous, uncaring, and generic. They say to me "Hi, I don't know you well enough, and I didn't bother to really think about what kind of a person you are and what you like, so I'll just throw some money at the problem. Good luck finding something for yourself."

why I hate Christmas....

2005-12-28T05:37:33Z

well.because I am not a christian....I am mostly athiest with silly/moderate pagan leanings...actually I invented my own religion several years back based around a plaster statue that someone gave me. and I painted. You are all welcome to join my Shrine to the Winged Gnome Goddess tribe.

Anywhoo..Chrsitmas has always been a time of excessive hustle and bustle stress...as a kid it was inevitable that my dad would go on a drunken binge and my parents would fight violently..It was a time when I had to try my best to pretend to be a normal little kid for the relatives (it never worked).and all sorts of other negative connotations.
the stress of trying to please people..and the ensuing feelings of emptiness and detachment.

These years it is a time when I am over my head in sock monkey orders..and while it is nice that I get a little bit of money in Pay Pal, all other aspects of my life go to shit while my entire living space is covered (three times more than usual)in fabric scraps and pieces of thread and my desperate attempts to please these people who I don;t know(for the most part) who have paid me money...to make them sock monkeys..an activity I generall truely enjoy..but it gets overwhealming because I work so slowly and can hardly lift my head to do anything else...during the holidays.

And all the stinking money we have to spend on everyone...and the feeling that it is not the thought that counts..it is really necc. to prove to someone that you are related to them by spending an assload of money on something they may or may not ever use...a sore excuse for basic acceptance and authentic closeness..

There are some things I DO like about Christmas...
namely..christmas parodies...alternative/underground Christmas music can be really fun..
the Nutcracker
and the cookies.

2005-12-28T00:48:09Z

You know I just had the worst time... Had a great time over at my friends house today but came back to an empty home. Turned on my Christmas tree put in my favorite movie 'White Christmas', which I have tried for days to finish watching but just didn't feel in the mood BUT THE WORST was opening the presents my mom had sent me in the mail.

I held out for Christmas to open them and I felt so, selfish (?), that is the only word that comes close but still isn't right about how it makes me feel. I felt like a Meiser not by choice. But sitting and open presents without the company to enjoy the process with, it felt very empty. There is something about sharing and having someone to say isn't this cute or to giggle about where the heck is this going to go.

Than looking at the Christmas tree I felt selfish(?) for even bothering to put it up because it was meant to me shared not meant just for me. Now thinking also about how sad its going to be to pack it back up for another year.

IS Jeezis Santy Claws?

2005-12-25T11:32:39Z

I repost this here from the Not My President Tribe (originally posted by "steve"), because it can help illustrate the etymological nightmare that is the holiday as we know it today. And it also illustrates the diwitted nature of the current leader of the free world.

------------begin stuff------------

'ARE YOU JESUS?'

American Christians are furious over President Bush's apparent belief that Christmas celebrates the birth of Santa Claus.

At the White House Christmas Tree ceremony last week, Bush's remarks left the crowd stunned.

"Each year, we gather here to celebrate the season of hope and joy -- and to remember the story of one humble life that lifted the sights of humanity," Bush said.

And then the president -- who claims to be a born-again Christian -- turned to an actor dressed as Santa Claus and said, "Santa, thanks for coming. Glad you made it. I know you've got a lot of commitments this time of year."

The message was clear: Christmas honors the life of a humble man named Santa Claus. The Baby Jesus was never even mentioned by Bush.

Conservative news site World Net Daily gave the president a chance to back down from his outrageous claims that Christmas is only for the worship of Santa Claus.

The White House wouldn't budge.

At today's White House press briefing, WND asked [White House spokesman Scott] McClellan if the president would apologize to Christians offended by his referring to Jesus as Santa. Suggesting the administration failed to see a problem with the remark, McClellan responded, "The president meant exactly what he said."
Conservative Christians believe the president is distancing himself from the religion of Jesus. Whether it's Bush's bizarre public statements about Santa Claus or the godless "holiday season" greeting cards from the White House, those who worship the Baby Jesus say Bush has turned on them and their faith.

Christmas Confusion

Experts say it's not surprising that President Bush would be confused about the holiday. Young children are often so baffled by the mishmash of characters and traditions that most agree Santa Claus is either the father of Baby Jesus or the grown-up Baby Jesus after he moved to the North Pole.

Like a crow or a raccoon, Christmas loves to collect the shiny celebrations of any culture or religion with something festive to offer.

December 25 comes when days in the Northern Hemisphere are the shortest of the year. The earliest humans celebrated in their own primitive ways, knowing the sun would soon be back for longer and longer days, and that the cold dark winter was giving way to spring.

In ancient civilizations including Persia, Greece, India and Rome, December 25 was celebrated as the birthday of a great god and savior. This sun god went by different names -- Mithras and Sol Invictus were especially popular.

When the Roman Empire made Christianity the state religion in the 4th Century, the government renamed all the pagan festivals for characters in the new Christian Bible. This way, it was easy for everybody to "become Christian."

As there wasn't much of a story in the Gospels about the birth of Jesus -- just a few lines -- Roman bureaucrats decided to use the already popular story of Mithras' birth on December 25. Baby Mithras was born in a manger and even had a virgin mom just like gods such as Krishna, Gautama Buddha and Zoroaster. There was even a star that led some Persian sorcerers (Magi) to come bring the little baby some presents. Soon, everybody was enjoying the new "Christ Mass" as Roman priests worked around the clock to destroy all references to Mithra and Sol Invictus they could find.

As Romans tried to switch the people of Northern Europe to the new Christian religion, all kinds of great new traditions were brought to the Baby Jesus' new birthday. Yule logs, "Christmas" trees, mistletoe, reindeer pulling sleighs, drinking lots of Grog and awaiting a visit from a mysterious Yule Elf from the faery world all came from the traditions of the people who lived in darkness and cold for much of the year.

The Vikings worshipped the most powerful god of all, Thor. He rode across the ice in a sleigh pulled by longhorned goats, his big white beard flapping in the freezing wind, kept warm by a weird costume.

And a priest from Turkey named Nikolas helped write the Bible and was made a Saint after he died. Legends say he could do many tricks, such as walking on water. After his bones were moved to Italy, he became one of the most popular Saints, and was the "patron saint" of pawnbrokers, bankers, Greeks and Russians.

St. Nikolas' Day (December 6) was a beloved celebration when Europeans would exchange gifts and get drunk just like they do today. Sometimes a guy would dress up like St. Nikolas -- with his priestly Eastern robes, beard and crazy hat -- and hand out little presents to the youngsters.

But in Germany, the St. Nikolas characters were run out of town by Martin Luther, the anti-Catholic upstart who invented the Protestant churches. Martin Luther just hated how much people loved the Saints, so he banned them all. Clever Germans decided to call their St. Nikolas by a new name: Christ Child, or Christkindl -- or, "Kris Kringle." Martin Luther was probably furious, but there was nothing he could do.

The tall bearded character didn't look too much like a Baby Jesus, but it did the trick.

Before long, the Dutch (who still call St. Nikolas Sinterklass) mixed all this stuff up with the Yule Elf stories from their Nordic neighbors and taken the whole confused mess to "New Amsterdam" in North America.

Today's Santa Claus is part Roman Saint, part pagan Nordic creature, and part weird grown-up German Baby Jesus ... and that means President Bush is 100% right when he says Christmas is truly the holy time when we worship Santa Claus.

I hated Xmas...

2005-12-24T20:13:08Z

So I hate to piss on your parade...but...

I hated Xmas vehemently, for the first year ever, until about 1.5 hours ago when one of my neighbors knocked on my door. I'd only met him once, over a year ago, when my cat went missing. He was walking his dog past my house and I ran out to plead that he keep an eye out. At the same time we heard my cat call out, and he helped locate the sound and then rushed his dogs away never to be seen again.

Tonite there was a knock on the door, and it was my neighbor, who reminded me his name was Ed. He reminded me that he was the one who helped me find my missing cat (who died this past June) and wanted to wish us a Merry Xmas. I asked how he was and he said not so good- he lost his wife to cancer two months ago. I hugged him and invited him in, but he declined my invitation.

Ed told me he sees our dog outside in the morning but never sees us. As I expressed my sympathy again for his loss, he said that if we ever saw him wandering through the neighborhood somewhat randomly that's why. He offered that if we ever need a petsitter, or anything at all, he'd be willing to come help. I returned the offer.

He broke my heart. Oh man, you can't even imagine.

We're going to invite Ed to Christmas dinner.

And right now I really like Xmas a lot because despite the fact that my family fucked me up good, and will stress me to the most extreme limits in the next week, they're more than some people have and they wouldn't be here unless it was Xmas. Also, if it weren't for Xmas Ed wouldn't have let me know he was in need, and I wouldn't have the opportunity to help him out. Not just for Xmas dinner, but in the coming months, which are sure to be really hard for him.

It's really hard, but if you look closely enough you can still find the good stuff...and if you don't, you're heart's going to die and you'll be like all the rest of the assholes who are destroying it.

So there. Nyah!

2005-12-24T16:13:09Z

Is there a little place inside of you that's disappointed every year when inevitably there is no snow?

Or maybe you grew up with snow and now live in a different climate and miss it but only for like a week out of the year?

I hate that. Not the lack of snow, the but part of me that thinks that Xmas would be nicer with snow. There is nothing in this world that irritates me more than knowing that my thoughts aren't my own.

Ok, I have always had an impartial relationship with Christmas. My mother almost always worked since she was a nurse. After my dad divorced my mom when I was a teenager - it was just me and my mom. I just couldn't do the Christmas thing with my father because I was resentful of him for a long time. So I have been use to being alone on Christmas. The man I love unfortunately hates Christmas and we had a related falling out just before the holidays. I really hate what ever it was about Christmas that caused him so much pain in the past. I only hoped that with our love we could start something new for both of us for holidays. But now he has made him self totally unreachable and it really makes me dislike Christmas - why one day could cause so much pain... You can wrap the holidays in whatever package you want, and I really want to still believe its about sharing time with those you love. I am really sad I can't share this holiday with him, it could be as magical as any other day we spend together.

"For six weeks from mid-November, thieves will steal £447 million from retailers in Britain and €3,215 million in Europe as a whole. Christmas is the peak of the shoplifting season."

...And the Europeans are a largely-civilized people. Can you imagine how much gets stolen in the USA?
