Guest howyousawtheworld Posted December 7, 2009 Share Posted December 7, 2009 Yeah I know Christmas has more good points than bad points but here are the worst points 1 - It's not XMAS it's feckin Christmas! 2 - Turkey. No one ever says 'I love turkey!' It's like chewing tree bark and half your drink's gone trying to wash just one slice down your throat. 3 - School teachers thinking it was cool coming into school in 'relaxation mode' ie jeans, awful sweaters. 4 - Christmas TV. Same films year in year out. I can pretty much recite the entire script for You Only Live Twice - yes it's that bad. You thought last years tv shows were bad?! You ain't seen nothing yet! This year in the UK we've got Ant and Dec's Christmas Show to keep us entertained! 5 - Knowing Christmas pudding is so delicious that you help yourself to a second helping only to find that a third of the way through your second bowl the delights of the pud instantly seep away from you and are replaced by a feeling of regret, depression, stodginess and bloatedness at the fact that you've still got 2/3rds to go. 6 - The phrase 'Happy Holidays!' Last time I looked it was Christmas. 7 - Christmas shopping. Going into shops you've never even heard of let alone been in trying to find presents for your loved and then ultimately knowing you've bought the wrong stuff for them. 'I asked for Lionel Richie, not FUCKING Lionel BLAIR!' 8 - Christmas pop songs. Having to hear songs like Wizzard's 'I Wish It Could Be Christmas Everyday'. Thank god it's not so I don't have to hear that intruding my ear drums constantly. 9 - Santa. Or to be more precise middle aged men dressed up as the guy with cotton wool beards that their wives made for them only to see their efforts gone to waste as he scares the living shits out of little kids. Given the highly politically correct world we live in today I'm surprised that no one has raised an eyebrow of the idea that a bearded old man enters kids bedrooms at night, ringing his bell! 10 - Christmas cards. They always pile up to the extent that you want to burn them all. And there's always one who gets your name wrong. Always one. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

HorrificAttack Posted December 7, 2009 Share Posted December 7, 2009 1. This is to do with people being morons not Christmas 2. you don't have to eat Turkey and people actually do like it 3. What? 4. Why are you watching TV on Christmas day anyway? 5. Don't be such a greedy **** 6. Nobody in Britain has ever said that, ever. 7. This makes no sense, how could you accidentally buy the wrong thing jsut cos it was Christmas? If you really get that confused in reality, shop onlin 8. I agree with this one 9. So you're complaining because he's not "PC" but then complaining that the "PC" people would even consider outlawing him? YOU ARE NOT MAKING SENSE YOUNG MAN 10. Agreed again, I hate cards. It's like "I know you so I feel obliged to give you a card with my name on" and then you feel obliged to give one back so as not to appear a ****.

Violet Posted December 7, 2009 Share Posted December 7, 2009 1. Xmas is a perfecly acceptable term. The "X" in "Xmas" represents the Greek word "Χριστός," which is translated into "Christ" in English. If you really want to be technical, the holiday was originally known as Christ's Mass. 2. The turkey shouldn't be dry if cooked properly. I've been blessed with two parents who can cook. Turkey is delicious, particularly when fried. 3. Oddly enough, I've never encountered this problem. 4. I agree, to an extent. I realize people think "A Christmas Story" is an iconic film, and it is, but I don't need to watch it 12491278347128036451234 times. I do like seeing the classic Rankin-Bass films, however. 5. Christmas pudding. Must be a Eurpoean thing; I've never had it. 6. Christmas isn't the only holiday in December. 7. I agree with this one. My father is a particular challenge when it comes to buying things for him. No matter what any of us buys, he seems to not appreciate it. 8. This is why I avoid the radio and put in some Mannheim Steamroller/Trans-Siberian Orchestra instead. 9. My father solved that problem by telling us at a young age that he was Santa. Technically speaking, he wasn't lying. :P 10. We don't ever get that many cards, so I never viewed this to be an issue. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Don't worry I wasn't getting on at you, but I really don't see the need for analysing everything I typed! :laugh3: It was merely a thread on my own personal views on Christmas.

Violet Posted December 7, 2009 Share Posted December 7, 2009 That's just me being me. I overanalyze pretty much everything. :laugh4: Not that I do it on purpose. It just happens. At any rate, I was merely sharing my view on your views, and I was most certainly not intending on offending anyone. :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Julie Posted December 7, 2009 Share Posted December 7, 2009 A thread for bashing Christmas? Aw come on! It's not that bad, you're just being overdramatic. 1. What the hell? Who cares if someone says Xmas instead of Christmas? It's just a shorter way of saying it. It's not going to kill you. 2. Some people actually like Turkey, including me. If you don't like it then don't eat it. No one is forcing you to eat it... 3. I've never had a teacher who's done that, but if they did I really wouldn't care. What's so wrong with teachers wearing jeans? Yeah the sweaters may be ugly but it's not going to eat you or anything silly like that. 4. If you don't like what's on TV then don't watch it... 5. Okay now you're just being greedy. Don't get a second bowl if you're not going to like it. 6. Someone said "Happy Holidays" OMG HOW DARE THEY!!!! When they say that they usually mean Christmas with New Years included, or if you celebrate another holiday other then Christmas. 7. It's stressful when you are buying things, but it's worth it when you see the smile on the person's face when they see the gift you got them (I know that sounds sorta cheesy, but it's true :P) 8. There is shit music playing all the time, and now it's all of a sudden a huge deal? Get over it. 9. I'm pretty sure most little kids love santa. If you didn't like the idea of a magical man coming inside your house giving you tons of presents, then you must be a very hateful person. 10. I don't get Christmas cards. I wish I got more, though. I think it's nice of people to send cards wishing you a Happy Holiday. I think your list is a load of bullshit. Christmas is a lovely holiday and the fact that you made a hate thread for it really says a lot about you. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
EmmaLouiseSmyth Posted December 7, 2009 Share Posted December 7, 2009 Xmas isn't as text languagy as it sounds. The "X" stands for the Greek letter chi, the initial in the name Xristos (Khristos meaning Christ). That's where it comes from. oh, i'm such a nerd. :P Feckin, that's so irish :laugh4: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
