It may come as a surprise to many of you, but I do not like Christmas.

I hate the commercialization of the holiday that is has warped and bastardized it into something it's not just so that corporations get richer while they chum the water and escalate the feeding frenzy that is the holiday season until it actually kills people.

Now, they are coming for Hanukkah. I'm seeing plastic toy dreidels that light up, rubber balls with menorahs in them, Star of David cookie pops.

I want to stop the beast, and the first thought that comes to mind is to set all of this crap on fire, but I have a feeling that's not going to go over well...

How about you just enjoy the season and the time with friends and family?

Thats just Christmas slowly and covertly transforming Hanukkah into Christmas.

Please stop complaining about the 'death of a loved one' it's my job. They probably deserved it anyways. Here's a warning, if you keep making pentagrams out of the neighbors livestock I will personally come to your house and kill everyone you love. Now leave me alone, I got to get back to work.

I don't enjoy the music but I enjoy the happiness.

The real Christmas has been warped and perverted into what today's society and the media make it out to be: commercialized with a selfish, "me first" attitude where all people care about is what they're getting and how much money they'll have to pay for it.

Two makes there more than speakers.

I agree with the OP. People wouldn't care about Christmas if no one got any gifts.

It's not just Christmas. Almost every holiday has been over 'marketized'.

Where's the Kwanza Kangaroo handing out Kwanza gifts?

That said: It's next after Hanukkah has been converted.

If I ever get AIDS, I'm going to sleep with another AIDS person so my AIDS cancel each other out, or I'm going to make the AIDS I already have worse.

Okay Scrooge.

Why are you here?

I enjoy Christmas season not because of the gifts I get, but because I have time off from school to spend with my family. The atmosphere is nice and jolly, and I love Christmas music.

The tide is turning, brothers! Let us take our kingdom back!

When the Christmas season arrives, our work amount increases tenfold. Christmas can be a cruel thing.

Okay Scrooge.

Two problems with this statement: You're implying that I'm a penny pinching old man who hates the holiday because of lost productivity.

I'm not and I don't.

Second is that I hate the holiday.

I don't. I hate the commercialization of it.

I like Cheese

Maybe in the US, but here in Israel there's hardly any reminder it's Hanukkah, really.
Other then lighting the candles and the bakeries have unlimited stock of donuts, that's it really.
