27 Things About Christmas That People Are Sick And Tired Of

It just feels really wrong to sexualize Santa, an OLD MAN that is meant to be an innocent figure for children. No. Just, no.

That movie makes me extremely uncomfortable. The animation is too life-like and waxy.

Die Hard isn’t a Christmas movie.

I can't stand the taste of peppermint. It honestly makes me nauseous.

I know that the idea is that the kid’s dad is dressed up as Santa, and the mom is giving him a kiss, and the kid is misunderstanding the situation, but I feel like it’s just a weird song for kids as they’ll interpret it as the mom is cheating on the dad with Santa.

I absolutely loathe ones that aren’t green. I’ve seen black ones and white ones and pink ones and gold ones and bloody fibre-optic ones. They look so tacky.

Normal calendars work just fine!

I hate how even though Christmas happens during summer here in the southern hemisphere, all the decorations in the shops are bloody winter themed. I mean why would I want snowmen or snowflakes? It's bloody hot.

It's like eating a Hershey bar after brushing your teeth?

They look terrible. When I wrap gifts for my friends and family, I refuse to use those two colors together.

Christmas is just capitalism commandeering our collective sense of guilt over the alienation we feel from our families, all in order to get our money. We’re obligated to celebrate this total fiction of togetherness and community that nobody actually feels, in the form of one treacle lie after another. We binge-drink for a month straight because we know this, but can do nothing to opt out.

“Hey, thanks! We never talk, but I’ve always wanted a corporate surveillance gadget in my home to steal more of my data.” Humbug. Fuck it.

I think forcing your kid to take a picture with Santa when they’re terrified is absolutely awful! Especially posting it and laughing about it online. I know kids can be crazy and irrational but laughing at their terror of a uniquely dressed stranger just isn’t funny to me. I don’t judge parents for a lot, but I kind of do for that one.

I like fruitcake even though it’s a pop culture punchline.

Rudolph the Red-Nosed Reindeer really grinds my gears. The sound of his light-up nose is like a dog whistle but for humans.

I can’t understand why everyone finds it so funny!

Eggnog has the consistency of boogers.

I'm not a fan of carolers, more specifically the ones made of little kids in a school group. They are way too cutesy for my liking.

I think Christmas decorations are fun and pretty... except for tinsel. Tinsel is super ugly if you ask me.

—missymarmar

The only good Christmas song.

I think the whole ugly Christmas sweaters thing is so overrated. Like I don’t get why someone would wanna spend so much money on an ugly sweater. I also don’t get why there are ugly Christmas sweater parties. Like it literally makes no sense to me

Crap film.

It’s creepy as hell and not remotely funny. Everything about it makes me uncomfortable.

Sad Christmas songs add NOTHING to the season. I had a friend once tell me it puts things into perspective. I don’t need to hear a fake story about a kid who doesn’t know how shoes and heaven work. There’s plenty of actual sad things in the world to bum me out, thank you very much.

—jessbruso

This is horrible to say but I don't like going to my kid's Christmas concerts. Lol I like watching my kids but don't like sitting through all the other grades. I feel like Ebenezer Scrooge.
