so I've noticed that I'm kinda 'bah humbug.' I never really thought about it 'till my mom brought it up. I hate christmas colors, I hate the songs and movies, and I don't really like to decorate. I mean, I like to look at the lights and stuff but I don't do anything of my own. I give people gifts and stuff... that's about it. :/
I'm glad I'm not the only one.. All I like doing is baking and giving people I'm close to presents, and using it as an excuse to buy my baby sister more plushies. Working in a grocery store sucks when they start playing xmas music the WHOOOLE two months of november and december D:
Ugh. I'm the exact same way. I used to go absolutely apeshit over christmas, and now I really couldn't give a fuck. I hate christmas carols 'cuz it's flat-out bad music, and I hate the crowds. Money's tight so my close friends and I usually just buy immature joke-gifts for each other, I enjoy that, but I hate shopping for my mom cuz she never tell me what she wants, then she gets all passive-aggressively upset at me when she doesn't like what I got her. :I We didn't even get a tree this year.
Kind of the same way at this point. Christmas just reminds me of how poor I am and stresses me out. It's nice to get/give gifts...but it should be when you WANT to...not just because it's time to.
hunny i'm the same way. i'm a "humbugger" like my friends like to call me. my reason is because the holidays aint what they used to be. my point is tagrets 2day black friday sale thing. i just wanted to hit that lady in the face. i mean i like a few of the songs but most i don't need to hear ever again and i hate decorating. house lights and other peoples trees are pritty ya but i haven't decorated my tree in...4 years?
I don't like the holiday myself either. I'd be so much happier if I took all the money I spend on others and spent it on myself for things I actually need, and they can do the same with all the money they'd spend on me. Same for birthdays.
Maybe it's not as good for the economy, doing it my way, but it's definitely way better for my stress levels.
This is one of the biggest reasons I want to move away from my family, instead of just living in an apartment across town like I do now. Further away means the only gifts exchanged are purely financial ones, and money is so much easier to regift.
