As far as holiday's go it's okay but there are a lot others that I enjoy more like Thanksgiving, July 4th, and Opening Day.

Christmas means it's cold and I have to go shopping. The best thing associated with it is that it is college football bowl season...

The only reason I hate it is people wearing those ****ing santa hats, it pisses me off so bad, I hate looking everywhere and seeing those red hats, all they'd make is good fire wood. But honestly, the gifts are nice, but I do actually like seeing the family together, and just having a good time. They can save their damn trees though, I'm not an environmentalist or any of that ****, but I honestly think it's pretty pointless. All the happy decorations and lights just have to go.

Indeed. This pretty much sums it up for me.

I'll have to start making cookies soon!

Good one. Lets do a pros/cons to Christmas...

Pros:
Being around family
Copious amounts of delicious home-made food
It's acceptable to be drunk all day
Time off of work
Getting presents or money

Cons:
It's ****ing cold and possibly snowing
You have to buy people presents (often when you don't know **** about them)
THE ****ING MUSIC
Caroling
Awkward moments with family members who know you but you don't know them at all
Egg nog
Too many loud kids
Everything is closed
The entire religious baggage that comes with it

In summary, dislike a lot more things about christmas than I like, but it's still ok.

I like Christmas, I just hate all the extended build up to it.

Like when people start threads about it in October.

Christmas is totally not needed, but I guess it's kinda fun when you look at it for what it really is and not the made up history of it the Catholic church.

It could have been a passing thought I had in January and I could have made it then.

Would you have disliked it because of all the aftermath of Christmas, like people making threads about it in January?

The build up to Christmas is my favourite bit tbf.
Buying a fridge/garage full of booze, loads of food, cold nights.
It's almost as good as the actual day.
