what's the deal with hating christmas?

its a frankenstein's creature of dead holidays cruelly harnessed by capitalism that millions blindly follow ignorant to what they're celebrating and why.

st. nick, the birth of jesus, winter solstice and a handful of other traditions and god knows what else sewn together into some ugly mutant. it bugs me. its offensive.

i like my holidays straight forward thank you.

I wish it was snowing. It's the only cheesy nostalgia inducing holiday for me.

i hate christmas because i'm jewish and am therefore bored shitless for at least the 24th and 25th all of my friends are either out of town or busy, and everything is fucking closed. also, i despise christmas music.

To add to that the gentiles have started invading our Chinese and Jewish Deli restaurants on the 25th so now when I go there is a long line and the movie theaters are also now crowed.

And, my sister was a ballerina growing up, so from the time she was four to the time she was sixteen I had to sit through at least one and often two or three performances of the nutcracker every year. Then I head to get dressed up in my uncomfortable-ass blue blazer and tie, and sit through a christmas party for all of her little nutcracker buddies when all I wanted to do was go someplace quiet and read. I hate Christmas.

p.s. This year I got a missing filling and a toothache for Christmas. Thank you, baby Jesus.
