Holiday Pet Peeves

[Smack-Ferret]

Well, it's that time of the year again and I was wondering, is their anything about the holidays that irritates you?

For me it just happened on Thanksgiving, going to an uncle's house, listening to the radio and they're already playing Christmas Carols on the radio. How 'bout some turkey carols? I never heard those before.

Christmas Cards.

I FUCKING HATE Christmas Cards!

[small]Especially the ones with those bloody music boxes in them![/small]

The whole "War on Christmas" thing. One side is pointlessly removing an inoffensive name, the other is making it into a big culture war.

That, and really early Christmas advertising. Some friends of mine turned on all the singing Christmas toys in a Wal-Mart isle in October.

September in Tesco.

They actually had their Christmas stuff up before their Halloween stuff.

God-Dammit I hate when people get me those for my birthday.
I end up prying them open slowly and getting the money out with tweezers.

"Holiday trees."

Excuse me...but they're Christmas trees. We don't call Hanukkah Menorahs "Holiday Menorahs," or the Fast of Ramadan a "Holiday Fast." So why the devil should we give Christmas the boot.

 

[cuddly_tomato]

The festival mass-murder of innocent turkeys.

Poor little buggers.

Yeah I'm really looking forward to getting my holiday supplies from my local holiday store. Oh yeah and my holiday presents.

Political correctness in any holiday. Like council bosses trying to call Christmas Winterval because it offended non-Christians.

I don't know why they do that, I have never seen or heard of someone who was offended by christmas...

Strangest thing ever. It's a Christian festival for fucks sake.

 

[historybuff]

Political correctness is so obnoxious.


Also, the family gatherings because, man, I am so sick and tired of trying to explain to my family, "No, I want to finish college before I even think about a relationship/family and no, I am not a bad person for looking out for me instead of doing the 'Christian thing' and finding a man."

Tell them you have a woman.

That should get them off your back.

No it's not "that time of year again". It's still November.

That's what gets on my tits. People getting into "The Holiday Spirit" a month before Christmas or whatever you celebrate begins.

You do know that never actually happened...

 

[damselgaming]

Not having enough money to have a Christmas this year or to be able to go see any of my family... *sigh*

Ugh, very much this. I can not stand it!

But you must fight for the Christian cause if you're a true American and not one of these leftist pinko commie liberals. Bring Christ back to our nation, for he isn't plastered on enough walls.

Disclaimer: I wasn't actually insulting you for being a communist, it was obvious satire.

I've tried that, even brought her to dinner, didn't work.

Yeah. Maybe the government would shoot us in the face for saying that though.

 

[laura3lizab3th]

Christmas shopping. Or more the people that are Christmas shopping.

 

[Doc Theta Sigma]

Any supermarket the week or so before Christmas. New rule. If they're walking as slow as possible through the aisles, I should be allowed to backhand them out of the way.

Throw her up on the table in the middle of dinner and begin the raunchy sex games.

Oh sure, they might kick you out of the family and never speak to you again, but at least you don't have to explain anything to them anymore.
