Christmas is anti-Semitic!! It has now been officially banned in the US.
In answer to yuor question = fuck all.
I have, for years now, hated the fake incentive to indulge in consumerism every 25'th Dec. It would always catch up with me though (due to family pressure) & I would have to go through the hated experience of going to the mall on the 23'rd of Dec to buy fucking gifts for people who can buy their own shit, & will no doubt think what I have brought them is shit anyway. What a waste of good money.
& all just so the high street can have it's anal P/A, record income.
What a bunch of led sheep most cretins are.
If you have kids/grand kids, I will look the other way, if not = FUCK YOU!!
I now live in India & am looking FWD to another year when it is just the 25'th Dec, I worked all day last year
Bah-fucking-humbug
PT
Whew! I do have kids and grandkids so I guess you can look the other way.
My kids and grandkids will have a nice Christmas whether Gramps and Nana buy them a bunch of shit or not because they are relatively well off (we send money to the grandkids in Germany because they are of an age when they like to pick out their own stuff and sometimes the postage is almost as expensive as the presents we used to send even using an APO. Our other grandson lives with us. He has so much stuff, it would be hard to know what to get him for Christmas. We ask him what he wants. Usually it's a book.
My family thinks I am like Scrooge because I don't like Christmas shopping at all. For one, I have a phobia about being in crowds. I actually suffer panic attacks if I get into a really crowded situation. Another thing, I don't like malls or major department stores to shop at because everything is so commercialized and then there are all those other sheep trying to out shop one another.
I don't string Christmas lights on the house either. I'll hang a large wreath by the front door and maybe string a few lights in it to brighten the entry. I put up the tree never longer than a week before Christmas and we always take it down on the Epiphany, which is also my wife's birthday.
The little forray into Christmas giving I described earlier, took my wife and I all of an hour and a big box store. I can manage that.
Chances are my wife and I will give each other a kiss for Christmas. Neither of us needs anything.
The big thing in the U.S. where I live, is this black Friday nonsense. Stores opened at 12:01 a.m. and all those little lambs were dutifully lined up waiting to part with their Christmas cash or credit. The day you see me in one of those lines waiting to shop is the day the world will come to an end. It's never going to happen.
