Holiday things you hate

Car antlers. Car wreaths. Basically, any decorations on a car.

Christmas ANYTHING before Thanksgiving.

 

Re: Holiday things you hate

  • The crowds in parking lots at shopping centers.

    Obligatory gift giving.

    I can't think of anything else right now.

     

  • Car decorations bug the crap out of me.

    Christmas music or decorations after January 3rd.

    No parking anywhere.

    Endless crowds and lines.

    Stressed out salespeople.

  • Fruitcake.

    Crowded airports with sick travelers

  • Any type of arguments about "Merry Christmas" vs "Happy Holidays."

     

  • Idiots in mass droves in parking lots/shopping centers

    The Christmas Shoes song playing 34265 a day on Kost.

    Fruitcake.

  • Crowds every place you go.  And not only are they crowded, people are exceptionally rude.  So annoying...where's your frakin holiday spirit.

  • 10Years called it with the obligatory gift giving.  I also loathe crowds so I have turned to internet shopping for all of my holiday gift giving needs.
  • Y'all know the obligatory gift giving is my peeve. I hate it so much.

    I also have Christmas card things I hate...that list is about a mile long. But I know if I air those grievances I will probably never get a card again from anyone.

    I know what at least one of them is, and I feel the same way.

  • People who are hard to shop for and tell you, "I don't want this" when you give them their gift.

    Eww.. atleast PRETEND to like it and try and return it later. I would punch them in the throat.

    What ungrateful excuse for a person does this? When I'm given a gift I always politely thank her whomever for it and either never wear it or regift it.

  • The parking and lines at South Coast Plaza. After working one holiday season in college, I now refuse to shop there anytime from November 1 - January 1. 
  • I have another one...stupid commercials that make me weepy and miss my family.

  • This year I hate not being able to afford gifts. I wish nobody would get me anything so I wouldn't feel so shitty about it. I do hate stores and shopping but I hate that all year long so this is no different.

    Other than that I pretty much love the Christmas season and enjoy everything about it. Angel

  • Yeah last year I really didn't want to do presents because I was nervous about the stock market.  But it would have felt realshitty to be at my aunt's house and not have given people things in exchange for the presents we got.  Again, damn obligatory gift giving sucks, and even more so when you're in a financial pinch.
