Default Am I the only one who hates Christmas?

In answer to your question - no, you are not.

I'm an atheist, so the religious message of Christmas is irrelevant to me.

What really annoys me about the whole charade is that it starts around
August and gets worse. People do things in the name of Christmas which
would (or should) result in them being sectioned at any other time.
Wearing a Santa hat should be made a capital offence! You cannot switch on
a TV or radio, or open a newspaper or magazine, without having the whole
business thrust down your throat. Yet by Boxing Day or the day after it is
forgotten; it is as if it had never existed. Until next August, of course!



The commercialisation of Christmas takes the true meaning and charm out of
the Christmas Story. It is equally annoying to both Christians and ODs
alike.

Ther commercialising of every other festive occasion is equally disgusting.
