Does Anyone Else Hate All The Christmas Hype
32 Answers
I can't bear reading all the Christmas greetings, everyone trying to outdo each other with better pictures of trees, presents, etc - its just another day and I hate it with a vengeance. It makes no difference whether people wish you a Merry Christmas or not, its what it is and no amount of fake posturing will make it any different. Had to turn my phone off this morning as it kept pinging with meaningless messages. When will they learn its a waste of time! Off to take my dogs out now before my steak and chips for dinner. Roll on tomorrow for the racing on tv.

Not got a problem with other people enjoying Christmas, providing they don't constantly try to draw me into their hype. I've been called miserable for many years at Christmas time, no its not, its called keeping a level head. Its after Christmas I see miserable people, the very ones who had all the hype and over excitement.

JD beat me to it Goodlife. You may claim to not celebrate Christmas, but you know and we know that it isn't your choice, it's that of your religion. It's like me saying I don't celebrate Yom Kippur.
Anyway, I don't hate Christmas, I'm just ambivalent towards it. I pay lip service, and wish others season's greetings, but I'm not really bothered with it either way.

Jackdaw & Mozz71@ wrong, wrong and wrong. I am not a robot I do think for myself. Even if I was not a JW I would still not celebrate Christmas. As for shunning and disfellowshipping! You think you know Jehovah's Witnesses but you do not. Look at the Jw.org site and see for yourselves. Seems to me you are being prejudiced and biased. Lots of people do not celebrate christmas. I see the misery after the celebration. The number of suicides that occur and the break up of families.
I'm not religious in any way, but the events of this past year has made me think, that of my thinking for a long time, that we've been going in the wrong direction for a long time.
The virus has been very cruel, and continues to be so at the moment, but just stop and think,of all the things the virus has stopped us doing. A lot of the things its stopped us doing, is what we should have stopped doing.

I am not religious and people seem to forget that is what it was all supposed to be about.

I don't forget but all the religious stuff means absolutely zero to me.
So I (as many do) put my own spin on Christmas...which means getting together with family and friends.
(not this year of course)
