Let me be the first person this year to say...

I so badly hate X-mas.

I hate all the shoppers
I hate all the crap people put on their houses
I hate all the "X-mas is a time of giving" BS
I hate all the music
I hate winter

But I LOVE to work during X-mas week cause noone is at work, there is no traffic and I can slack off even more then normal at my desk 😀
 
I kind of like Christmas. Not for the typical "spirit of goodwill, peace on earth, presents for all the good little girls and boys" reasons, but for the pure joy that comes from staying the heck out of it. It's amusing to sit idly by and watch the believers flit around like a hummingbird after a triple espresso. The time, the effort, the money all pissed away on the altar of rampant consumerism, vainly trying to outdo each other in their displays of colored lights and unbridled spending. This is the ideal time of year to be an atheist, it's free entertainment.
 
my mom made us set up a fake christmas tree she bought. not only is it annoying, we had to turn the chair sideways to make it fit :|
 
its not so bad. i like coming up with a couple really good gifts for the people i buy for. and i like hanging out with my family.

Lol, what's funnier than geeks who drop huge amounts of money on their rigs out of the need to have the best stuff so they can run the newest game b1tching about our consumer culture. You don't mind spending money. You just don't like spending it on other people.

This place is beyond funny sometimes.

Edit: Just to clarify things I <3 Christmas 🙂
 
My "hot" rig: Athlon XP 2000+, 512 ram, 80 gig hd, GF3, wireless network, DRU500a.

I've got another year on this rig (though may up the proc) before I need to upgrade anything. 😛
 
I don't see a problem at all with the holidays even for the atheists. Everyone benefits from generally slightly-nicer moods. The only thing that really annoys me are the damn bells people ring for donations by stores. Other than that, holidays roxor.

I didn't say all of you 😉 I should have been more clear 🙂
