Piss On Xmas

[Amethyst]

When I was a kid, I used to like Christmas. But now I don't really care for it because of 1. the forced socializing and 2. the over-commercialization.

 

I wish people would visit relatives other times during the year, that way they wouldn't feel the need to visit everyone at Christmas and Thanksgiving and drag their family members with them.

 

I also don't like the fact that Christmas has lately been more about buying things for people than anything else. Why can't we just give people gifts throughout the year instead?

 

Oh well, I'm going to visit my grandma today (which I don't mind, because she's sweet) and a bunch of other relatives tomorrow on my stepmom's side who I don't know all that well (which I do mind because I have nothing in common with them other than living in the same state). Happy happy, joy joy.

I used to be "scroogish" about xmas, but that time's passed. Being non-religious, I've come more to appreciate the "oldness" of the december holiday, going back to ancient pagan times, before the xtians hijacked it and infused their myths into it. It's a marker for the solar (sun-god) cycle, and a so a marker for our own life changes as we live, year to year. I'm getting up in years, my parents and grandparents are all long gone, and this time of year brings back some great memories; I enjoy that, even though I've long since done away with most of the trappings of it.

-A 2006 Christmas Sunday in Shawn's life-

 

SO, I get up late today, as it's freezing in Plano. The simple delights and comfort of a big, warm bed with a big billowy comforter. Listening to brain wave altering sounds, committing more sorcery. You know, fun stuff for a Sunday!

 

I am hungry, so I go out for food. I want something decent and a cool environment. So I decide to go to the Olive Garden. CLOSED. Chili's. CLOSED. Spaghetti Factory. CLOSED. Fuck!

 

So I go to Denny's...and I am in a hostile mood at this point, and thinking how I can't stand this fucking place (Earth) at times, but still looking forward to a cheap steak drowned in A-1 sauce. So I sit down, and as usual, despite being well dressed and groomed, I draw looks. Actually I drew looks as I entered the place. Anyway, I guess I am evil, according to a web site test, ha ha.

 

The waitress is repulsed by my oppressive heart & thoughts, and has a hard time taking my order. I KNOW she wants to say 'Merry Christmas', but won't! ha ha ha! Anyway, I enjoyed my cheap steak and left. Fuck being Merry! YOU be 'Merry'! Like when people say "Have a great day!" No, YOU have the 'Great Day'! I don't need your fucking oppressive positive-brainwashing crap!

 

I hate having to fit in to this bullshit society, not so much the religious aspects, but the whole 'global community' mentality. "There's no 'I' in TEAM! Tee hee!" FUCK YOU! That's correct, Mr. Apple Polisher, but there is in STRIKE, FIGHT, KILL, DOMINATE, INTELLIGENCE and RESISTANT. I recall at elementary public school, I brought some Hubba Bubba gum one day. My P.E. teacher said to me (a big cunt), "Shawn, give me that gum, unless you brought ENOUGH FOR EVERYONE." What a loaded goddamn statement. Yeah, there's 17 fucking pieces in a stick of Hubba Bubba. But even if there was 30, who the hell are you, woman, to try and take my stuff that was paid for? What socialist fucking shit is that!?

 

SO, I am working on a construct aspect within myself, it's totally fake and not me. I'll draw from fantasy literature...it will be my "Annatar" self, the self I will portray to those that I need to. "Hi guys, I love people and being a productive member of society! Can I help you make some RINGS OF POWER, so we can help everybody be happy and pleasant? I don't mind sharing my vast knowledge with you folks, I'm a TEAM PLAYER. I enjoy being a self-sacrificing slob. That Sauron, what a total dick!"

 

I've realized that, even though I am quite accomplished and skilled, I have to fit in somehow socially. I hate modern society, as the collective consciouses primarily move towards semblances of peace, order, structure, socialism, collective agreement, ect...it turns against anyone who's strong, independent and creative and does this obviously in a very natural way.

 

That's my rant for "Happy Lighted Pine Tree, Gift Giving and dead Religious Figure" day. To all the happy families that enjoy fitting in and who organize cock-blocks against the deserving to preserve their thieving fantasy worlds...take your angel food cake, and shove it UP YOUR ASS!

Of the few seconds I am alive on this planet, I hate knowing that I will be coerced via guilt into wasting some of them to celebrate a lie.

 

Like last night I was coerced into going to church. ME! I feel like ranting but I need to blow off more steam before I can type more.

[R. S. Martin]

Very interesting thread. Now I know I'm not the only one who doesn't really celebrate Christmas in the usual way. I like the time leading up to the holidays. It's the anticipation of something really great that is in the air that I like. I like seeing how people decorate their front lawns and houses. I like to see the decorations in stores and hear the Christmas music.

 

Someone suggested early memories of Christmas might have something to do with how we feel about Christmas. It seems to me that Christmas was perhaps the one day of the year when Mom was always in a good mood. Sometimes the first real snow comes on Christmas and the first snow is always a time of celebration for me. By "celebration" I just mean feeling happy and taking note of every detail of this special occasion.

 

If I had to buy presents for all the relatives and spend Christmas with them, I'd hate it too.

[Gnosis of Disbelief]

I'm with Varokhar....I hate the holidays. Too many bad things seem to happen

to me between T-Day and NYD. People I love die or get sick, cars get stolen, I

get into accidents....yuck. Year after year. Call me a scrooge if you will, but

fuck the holidays. I'll be much better on January 2.

[Poonis]

The church service I went to on christmas eve somehow managed to base its sermon on the Pixar/Disney movie 'Over the Hedge' (you know, with hammy the squirrel, etc). I asked the guy sitting next to me, "what does Over the Hedge have to do with christmas?", and he replied, "I don't know."

 

But all things considered, at least we know that the movie 'Over the Hedge' really does exist, as opposed to what the rest of the service was based on.
