Why do you personally hate Christmas? - Lemmy.World

For those that can’t stand this time of the year, my misery seeks company. What does it for you? *** For me: aside from the usual family stuff: I worked front-end in a post office back when that meant a line-up before I opened the doors to the end of the day when I had to inform the line-up that was still out the door that, yes, I was going to close on time. (Some didn’t take that well. For me it was just another Tuesday…) It meant a lot of work with little thanks and I had to listen to the same shitty Xmas playlist over and over all day.

Christmas at it’s heart is a religious holiday, it deeply bothers me, to be immersed in Christian family values for what now seems to almost two months out of the year.

I’ve never been a member of the Judeo-Christian faiths, I didn’t have a particularly good upbringing so I’m not really close with my family. I’m addition I don’t have children and I have zero plans on becoming a parent. So in short, this holiday is not for me.

Then to add insult to injury and you have the blatant consumerism. Where you are forced to be a good capitalist and spend money on gifts you can’t afford to buy gifts people for don’t really want it. Yay.
