I hate that it bums people out that I don’t like Christmas, so I pretend that there is some teeny-tiny little thing that makes it special somehow, like my heart will grow three times with just the right combination of cinnamon-clove scented Glade and a slowly dying pine in the living room. I was horribly and relentlessly abused throughout my childhood and Christmas is when the nightmare would go into overdrive, so all I’d like to do is get blackout drunk and pretend it doesn’t exist. So, yeah. I’m not super into Christmas and it would be nice if I could politely say so without people acting like I just broke a kitten in half.

Agreed. I don’t like it and don’t even have a good reason.
I share your humbug, my friend.
I/A, I feel bad you were abused as a child. I know Holidays can really trigger depression. I was a very young man, when I was in Vietnam during the 1968 Christmas attack that over ran our base. I had to quit drinking 30 years ago. I hope the season flies by, and you find peace. Child abuse is just the worst.
Paid time off? No job? How about pretty lights on the streets?
I hope your abusers are dead.
Abuse sucks. Just say you are Jewish and spend your Christmas in a Chinese food restaurant.
Christmas is the bunk. Four out of five kittens would say so, if kittens could talk. Carry on.
you don’t need a reason to hate christmas other than the relentlessly bad music and the obscene commercialism.
I hate Christmas because doing so makes me edgy and countercultural. You can tell I’m from Old Portland because Nu Portland loves xmas ironically.

I don’t like Christmas either, and my friend just gave me some shit about it. You are not alone Anon.
what a bunch of soap opera losers. it’s cool to hate xmas, guys, that’s why you do. WahWahWah. I was raped as a child, and I get black out drunk every day. Don’t want your cherished sympathy either. But I love Thanksgiving. I love Valentines Day. No wait, I hate it because it’s the in thing to do.
