I'm 18 and for the last 4 years I really just haven't cared at all for Christmas. If anything it's a ball ache, having to shop round for presents that people will inevitably not want. The magic is lost once you're aware that Christmas is just another day. Yay Turkey. Oh no wait, if I wanted I could have had that last week, or the week before... Yay fake smiles as you hand someone their present that you spent half an hour walking in to town to buy. Yay beer, so that the day passes quicker and the falseness is over(Only serious yay is this, well change beer for Cider, of course).

"oh Jord you big emo, start making your loved ones presents, there's no need to spend money you don't have. Just enjoy the day with your family"

Yeah I'll pass on that too. I can't make shit, and even if I could I wouldn't be able to make anything anyone would want. Besides the small amount of family I have is busy getting drunk and talking about old people stuff and X factor.

Siiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiigh

I'm actually excited about christmas for once, probably because I'm bored to fuck at home and not at uni.

I'm 16 and have been indifferent towards Christmas for a couple of years. I have to spend money that I could really be buying stuff I need on shit people will maybe use a couple of times if at all. I have to endure both sets of grandparents and their guests at my house for a couple of days, and I'm not allowed out. I may change my opinion of it this year as I haven't seen much of my parent's at all in the last 3 months, however, I won't get to see my girlfriend all too much i doubt. So ionno. It's not great

Sucks especially for me, I didn't get hardly anything on my birthday in November because nobody has any money. The little bit I did get I have kept 90% of to give back to the people that gave it to me in the best kind of form: An unwanted present!

Oh thats me then.

Nah I know what you mean, Christmas is a right cunt, its fucking skinted me big time. I have a high maintenance Mrs and just can't give her any ol shit I know what I get her won't be enough (well not in my eyes anyways).

I still have family to buy for and quikly running out of time and money now, each year I have told myself put £10 a week away from ya wages and xmas is easy, like fuck do I and every xmas I regret it, this year more than most due to the ex mrs fucking around (bank keep taking big wedges of money off me)

It is all about the kids really, wait till you have some Jord (Ive picked up more this afternoon - see my karma) so next year will be even more expensive.

I worry more about Crimbo than any other time of the year.

The song says 'Its the most wonderful time of the year' - You having a fucking laugh mate, thats my b'day cos I don't have to buy fuck all for anyone else

Christmas is still fun, but i don't believe in the over-commercialisation of it. I don't ask for anything, and i don't get anything. Simple

I think you should still get gifts... but once you start seeing these massive sales just to get more customers it just gets stupid imo.

Mmmm cause that will put me in a good light with my family.

"So Mr's Jord, what did Jordan get you this Chirstmas?"

"Nothing at all"

"Oh I'm terribly sorry. What a cunt if you don't mind me saying so"

"Not at all, he sure is a greedy Cunt".

@Jord yeah but the story ends where it begins. Ash to ash dust to dust. We all end up in the ground... there it doesn't matter if you were a bum or a millionaire. Or if you gave Xmas presents or not.

I feel indifferent about it. IMO, My neighbors spend too much time putting up christmas lights, a christmas scene in the front yard. I have a small tree which is easy to set up and take down under 30 minutes and no outside decorations just a wreath on the front door. This time of the year is fun for my son and the rest of my family so I try to make the best out of it, though deep down I do not feel very merry. Alcohol works to tolerate those in my extended family who use this time to talk/argue about political views in my household (Lbot Houze Rul #1: no DST -GTFO ;D )

The only thing I like about Christmas is I get a day off of work.

I've never had a Christmas or Thanksgiving like that

I mean, I realize that it's a pain in the ass, but it still seems like something that you just HAVE to experience.

Not really or you'd just go around raping supermodels and killing people you don't like, after all, you're gonna be dust in the ground in the end...

When you GF is a spaz, her brother is a liberal who did not get enough attention from his mother, her sister and husband are self-righteous, registered republicans, and her mom is a crazy german from the WWII yah things can get out of hand at my place.
