This is the official "Christmas sucks" thread. Vent your rage at this season of greed & emotional manipulation.

I hate this bullshit! What\'s in it for me? I never get anything I want, and I spend too much money on gifts for people who I don\'t think deserve them. I\'m not religious in any way...so WTF am I doing?!?!?!?!?!

ahhh... I feel a little better now...

You say vent your rage at this season of greed & emotional manipulation.

Then you show the same greed and emotional manipulation by saying what\'s in it for me? I never get anything I want.

Your penance will be watching It\'s a Wonderful Life ten times.

I like Christmas. I like giving gifts to my family. :)

But I\'m not into it for the gifts; I simply love the atmosphere.

BTW, it would suck to celebrate Christmas in Australia... I mean, they have sun all the time in December. Christmas is supposed to be cold, have long winter nights and the occasional snow. :p
RRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRAPETIME!

I liked X-mass in AU.  I spent X-mass 99 in Jervis Bay south of wollongong. Got up early on the 25:th and went surfing at spot called "caves" and after that, I got to see what a aussie xmass all about. Really nice... but not the same as home.

I agree with Samwise..

I like Christmas more because of the atmosphere, the presents are just a bonus. Its also nice to have the whole family in the house again. :)

The first snow fell a few weeks ago.. But now its gone :(

Oh and Christmas is on the 24th, not 25th as some stupid people think :p

If Gotland is jamica then Öland must be our own little sahara island. ;) Öland has the most sun hours overall during the summer (damn.. I want a sommarstuga there)

you know for a "small" fee you could hire out space within a "de-mobed" (de-mobed= no longer in Military use)  nuclear bunker here in the UK and sit out the festive period ...totaly sealed off from all things Xmasy ;)


how dose that sound ?

i mean for a few more $$$$$ you could even press the big red button and make Half of  Canada Vanish ;)

I guess my family kinda bums me out. Even though they\'re not that old, (both around 50)they are always ill. All I hear about is how "this hurts, that is acting up, I went to the doctors again and I need this operation..."etc... I honestly think they do it for attention. They also kinda give crappy presents, like the jar-jar binks pillowcases I got last year. They can\'t seem to figure out that while I may have been a star wars fan, I am also going to be 30 in March. I bought them a decent stereo 2 years ago, and a SONY DVD player last year. So if I\'m gonna sit around getting drunk,  I\'d rather spend the $300 I was gonna use for presents on beer. It\'s kinda crappy of me, I know... I just can\'t wait for it to be over. Maybe if I had kids it would be fun...
