BF2S Forums Anyone else Indifferent to Christmas?

I dont care at all for Christmas. My entire family comes here for like a week every year (Me and my sister never have a say, its always dads decision) and i have to give up my room and sleep on the couch or a sleeping bag. One time i could not go get dressed till 2pm cuz my grandma was asleep and my dad did not want me to wake her up...and i wanted to go out with my friends. No one gets along and i have to listen to them fight all the goddamn time even during Christmas day when we open the presents. Jord's description of it is pretty accurate too.

And i never really want anything except a few things for my truck, which are $500+ and no one would buy them for me so im stuck with getting clothes and board games from my grandparents and books about the most boring environmental things from my hippie aunt.

ill be working on both christmas eve and day

Same, I sacrificed those days in order to get new years eve off.

Working on New Years eve really isn't a biggie, unless you finish at like 1am or something. Come on now, most people finish at 5/6pm. Unless you're one of those berks that like doing "super huge" stuff on "super huge" occasions like New Years () and you need to be in some 5 star hotel on some Caribbean Island or some fancy big city somewhere in the world *looks at sister* then it doesn't really matter.

I still enjoy Christmas, but I don't know why. It's not the superficial reasons anymore, either (I can't say I want "toys" anymore). The past two years I didn't even ask my parents for anything. I just enjoy the weather, the music (at reasonable amounts, not for 2 months prior; it's also best in church), and seeing people again.

I probably would finish at round about 1am if I was working.  It just depresses me so much when I'm working and me mates are out getting shitfaced.

You need a girlfriend

I have been for years as well.

A few years back, a few friends and I were making White Russians, driving around and calling people about 3 in the morning christmas eve/day asking out of line questions and intentionally pissing them off.

One of the best questions to ask someone after waking them up with your phone call is:

"Hello?  hey buddy, Remember 'Bill and Ted's Excellent Adventure'?  What ever happened to Bill?  have you ever seen him in anythings since?"

With a reasonable response of

"WHOEVER THE FUCK THIS IS, IT'S THREE IN THE FUCKING MORNING!  I DON'T GIVE A SHIT.  FUCK OFF!"


Call them back. ask again.   

That was a good time, ruining people's xmas eve 'n shit.

Christmas stopped being amazing when i was ten.

Still, waking up to a room full of presents owned muchly.

Spending time with your family, some people don't get to see their family much and I love that about Christmas. The presents never really appealed to me, I haven't asked for anything this year because I don't need anything. This year I will be spending my break with my girlfriend and that's all I need

During winter break, me and my family usually go to San Fransisco or Las Vegas

i kind of hate the holidays now. cant really stand the christmas music, the shopping, the crowds..ill be working on both christmas eve and day, so theres no time off to look forward to.
about the only thing i like about it is the snow and the lights people put up...the good lights, not the motherfuckers that try to land cessnas in their yards.

Man, I'm on my uni break rite (until march). Got a job recently... at a department store I shall not name. I'm in the toys department. I swear, some day I'll crack and kill some kid or their parent.   But srsly, the music, the crowds.. over it.


I guess my indifference to Christmas can be summed up by the fact that I didn't know how long it was to christmas (exactly)/what day its on until just last week.

It's a huge hassel, I always work 2nd shift on xmas and my dad goes out of town. It's like a regular night for me oh well.
