Everything I Hate About Christmas

[Tyler]

I can expect a lot if disagree ratings for this, but oh well.

-The turkey. Why is this a tradition? It's dry af and it's clearly not the best meat out there.
-Christmas movies. Yes, it's Christmas, so what? 90% of the Christmas movies are crap anyway. Name one good Christmas movie within the next 5 seconds... you can't.
-Santa. Really? Stop feeding your kids lies about a fat old man sneaking into your house, eating your cookies and leaving you presents! When they find out it's all fake, they'll get upset and not enjoy Christmas as much. It'd be better to not lie to them in the first place.
-Shopping. I don't like Christmas shopping. Like I appreciate that people go all out when buying me things, but can't I just wait until a week later when it's all cheaper? Damn this bites.
-Christmas Cards. Thank you for the pointless bit of plastic that I'm just going to throw away the next day.
-Shop promotions. Stop selling Christmas stuff in October, for crying out loud! It hasn't even been Halloween yet, oh my lord.
-Christmas Carols. Mariah Carey, you're amazing but I hate Christmas music, like... ew. Why are they all happy? Can't we have a sad Christmas Carol for a change? No we can't because Christmas is so overrated.

TL;DR: Thank god it's finally over here in NZ.

-The turkey. Why is this a tradition? It's dry af and it's clearly not the best meat out there.

Turkey isn't a tradition for everyone. If you don't like it, you could tell whoever you're having your Christmas meal with that you'd like to try something different next year. Or you could have gravy or something with your turkey so it wouldn't be so dry.

-Christmas movies. Yes, it's Christmas, so what? 90% of the Christmas movies are crap anyway. Name one good Christmas movie within the next 5 seconds... you can't.

Elf, Arthur Christmas, White Christmas, A Christmas Story... I could probably go on.

-Santa. Really? Stop feeding your kids lies about a fat old man sneaking into your house, eating your cookies and leaving you presents! When they find out it's all fake, they'll get upset and not enjoy Christmas as much. It'd be better to not lie to them in the first place.

Yeah, I kind of agree with this one. Kids start to adopt the mentality that they should be good so that they'll get good in return. The problem with this is that if there's nothing in it for the kid, they might not feel inclined to be good. Instead, we should be teaching our kids that we have already been given so much, so we should be good in return.

-Shopping. I don't like Christmas shopping. Like I appreciate that people go all out when buying me things, but can't I just wait until a week later when it's all cheaper? Damn this bites.

I suppose this makes sense. Wrapping paper, cards, etc. are often marked down a lot after the holidays. Not everything is cheaper after Christmas, though -- electronics and things like that are usually marked back to their normal MSRP in the new year.

-Christmas Cards. Thank you for the pointless bit of plastic that I'm just going to throw away the next day.

People usually send Christmas cards as a reminder of friendship and because they want you to know that they genuinely hope you have a great Christmas. To each his own, I suppose.

-Christmas Carols. Mariah Carey, you're amazing but I hate Christmas music, like... ew. Why are they all happy? Can't we have a sad Christmas Carol for a change? No we can't because Christmas is so overrated.

Christmas songs are happy because they're supposed to be happy. Christmas is the celebration of Christ's incarnation as a fragile, human child so that we may be closer to God through His ultimate sacrifice. What part of that isn't happy? I do enjoy sad songs from time to time, but Christmas is the celebration of something amazing, not something sad, so Christmas music has generally been written accordingly. also I'm pretty sure the song "Last Christmas" is supposed to be kinda sad so there's one sad Christmas song for you

TL;DR: Thank god it's finally over here in NZ.

I suppose I can't force you to change your mind about Christmas. It really is in celebration of a wonderful thing, though.

I agree. Turkey is disgusting even w/ gravy.

-Christmas movies. Yes, it's Christmas, so what? 90% of the Christmas movies are crap anyway. Name one good Christmas movie within the next 5 seconds... you can't.

Polar Express
Any dog xmas film bc oof dogs r cute

-Santa. Really? Stop feeding your kids lies about a fat old man sneaking into your house, eating your cookies and leaving you presents! When they find out it's all fake, they'll get upset and not enjoy Christmas as much. It'd be better to not lie to them in the first place.

I agree with this one. I've never really 100% believed in Santa because my parents are nice and didn't want me to be sad af when they told me officially

-Shopping. I don't like Christmas shopping. Like I appreciate that people go all out when buying me things, but can't I just wait until a week later when it's all cheaper? Damn this bites

I personally love Christmas shopping but that's because we have a shop near me where not too many people go to but it has really good things, maybe try online shopping?

-Christmas Cards. Thank you for the pointless bit of plastic that I'm just going to throw away the next day.

I throw Christmas cards out on the 5th of Jan unless they're really nice or from a family member.

-Shop promotions. Stop selling Christmas stuff in October, for crying out loud! It hasn't even been Halloween yet, oh my lord.

I agree but this helps me start christmas shopping early

-Christmas Carols. Mariah Carey, you're amazing but I hate Christmas music, like... ew. Why are they all happy? Can't we have a sad Christmas Carol for a change? No we can't because Christmas is so overrated.

I mean, Stop The Cavalry isn't especially happy but it's a bop

I love a good christmas song

If your turkey is dry then it means it was probably cooked badly

Here's some history for you:
The tradition used to be eating a duck for Christmas. However in the early 1600's, when the British settled in America they found turkey in America and decided to bring them back to England. Therefore Turkeys became a thing.

-Santa. Really? Stop feeding your kids lies about a fat old man sneaking into your house, eating your cookies and leaving you presents!

I agree with this one - as a kid I used to be terrified of just the thought of having a fat man that I don't know in my house. xd
