The Grinch Refuge Thread

In celebration of Thanksgiving being over (we can now be thankful for that too) and in the spirit of all things Christmasy... I am resurrecting this thread for any and all who would like to stomp on these joyous times. Note the matching avatar.

Economically, this thread's purpose should be welcomed with open arms and empty pockets. Why waste money on materialistic presents when you could spread your disdain for this time of overspending mutually... with me... and others who might feel the same way.

Rejoice!

Naawt.
 
But I love the feeling of spending the holidays with friends and family that love me. :o If I had to spend Xmas alone, I might just commit suicide.


No offense. :o
 
Ok heres my 2 bits...

I hate Xmas with a passion. I have daydreams of chasing Santa Clause with an axe, and spraying ruthlessly Xmas carolers with a high pressure fire hose. I hate this got dam time of year so much that I take any excuse to stay in my house for the fear some Xmas nutjob may incite my bi-polarized rage. I hate xmas for the simple fact that why is only a few weeks out the year necessary for people to start being nice to each other? Why can't they be nice to each other 365 days a year? I hate the fake kindness exhibited by people who think that will get them their Camaro or other high priced toy. Man I hate this frikin time of year so much, when it's finally over you accidently blink and guess what? Its the frikin holiday season all over again!! I suppose its because I don't have kids or a special, but yea people really piss me off when they get all cristmassy. My 2 bits.
 
I get fed up with the materialism of the thing. Of folks who have to be the first one to rush into a store when it opens Friday morning just to what? Spend money on presents just because someone decided this was what Christmas meant? The only time I like Christmas really, is when I am at Mass on Christmas Eve giving thanks to Jesus or when we visit with family -- not because of presents, but simply because I enjoy being with them. :(
 
While Christmas may these days be very commercial thats not all itsabout, no matter what your belifs or your religion Christmas isagreat time of year to mend bridges speak to those you may not have spoken to in a while and spend some time with your loved ones.

It's also a great time of year for people who have children, i have 2 and one on the way and the excitement they express everyday asking when Santa will come, when can they open there advent calender. While Christmas may be very commercial all over the world in thisday and age alot of the time getting people to spend money they just dont have i do try to make sure my children know the true meaning of christmas. Plus i also this year have my sons first school play to look forward too.
 
It is definately better with the little 'uns. :D My daughter is all grown up so it's just not as much fun as it used to be.
 
I really hate having to be nice to relatives I don't really like very much.
I hate having to pretend rubbish Christmas presents are good.
I hate relatives children.
I hate having to listen to 40+ year old people get drunk and talk rubbish.
I hate the chruch service on tv.
I hate carol singers coming to your door.
I hate the tv ads for Christmas songs.
I hate tidying up all the crap after christmas.
 
The only thing I hate about Christmas is that some years I have to go over my Grandfather's house instead of staying home and wallowing in my brand new, fresh plastic scented possessions.
 
Okay, so I don't hate the christmas SEASON, but I do dislike Christmas. It's just a day where my mom, dad, and grumpy brother get together to open presents. Then my brother goes away (on the comnputer before I get there) and my mom and dad watch tv seperately. usually I read.

I enjoy putting up decorations and SOME xmas music. But, if you're over the age of 18 and you don't have kids, xmas is just not fun. Plus, it gets old fast when you #$%$#ing roomate plays and sings cheesy Xmas songs all the time! Grrrrrrr.
 
This is the GRINCH thread. Spread your cheer elsewhere. :cmad:

lol, i bet in real life your really nice, i actually reckon your sat at your PC now with a festive santa hat on eating a mince pie with one of those little USB Christmas tree's.

Actually do they sell Mince pies in America orare they more a british thing?
 
I get drunk a lot and I eat a lot of rice.

And who knows, I might very well be a nice person... who really doesn't like the Christmas season.
 
I don't even know anyone who eats mince pies.
 
Do they taste good?


Know what really tastes good? A nice bite of Christmas sucks.

You are a true asian.
 
Worst things about Christmas? The songs, the fake happy people, the crazy angry ass*****, the fact that people believe it's a Christian Holiday, and a fat old pervert who likes when kids sit on his lap. :dry:
 
First year ever I despise Christmas, I have like no money cus of college and I have to magic up some Xmas presents out of nowhere for my nieces and nephews etc. It's driving me crazy, cus everywhere I go I hear jingle bell this and grandma go run over by a reindeer that and it's just inescapable, it's driving me nuts, when I know I have to sort this and I'm clueless as to how, my family supposed to be Jewish so why do I have to deal with this ****. :cmad:
 
I like mince pie too. It's very savory.

One other thing not to like about Christmas day, is that I will spend time and money to buy presents, when the reciever's probably won't like them or use them. My Dad has hardly ever been satisfied with what I've bought him. This year he wants a "lifelike" robot dog (which should be over $100). I mean, come on, he's a grown man! Although, this could be the beginning of dementia.

And my mom ALWAYS returns my presents for the cash.

I hate giving presents just cuz it's December 25.

I sold blood ( or ahhh another thing ) one year in college, and gave out gift cards to the little ones........your welcome.
 
You know what I hate about Christmas? That even though the suicide rate is higher, I never see anyone jump into traffic or shoot themselves or anything. Seriously, what the hell? If you're going to go out, you might as well make it entertaining for the rest of us, you selfish bastards.
