Christmas is great when it comes to spending time with people you love. It's not great when its participation is required, or when it becomes more about consumerism or creating the """perfect""" holiday.

I'm not; you're misunderstanding my point. I love spending time with family and friends. When I say 'participation is required' I'm talking more along the lines of social obligation to put up a tree, decorate your house, etc.

We usually do a ham a turkey and some beef roast. Always meant to get a duck for one but never had time.

I read about some dudes not liking LEDs b/c they are "tacky." They're all tacky, equally. I accept your prayers on my behalf.

Blue Christmas lights are the best ones. Or the ones with blue, purple, and green.

Pretty much my opinion, with the addition that Christmas music needs to be played a lot less. Working through the Christmas season as a retail worker is made significantly more painful by having to listen to the same fee songs on repeat

I wholeheartedly approve of the Technology Connections guy's years-long quest for a string of LED lights that looks like the incandescents of yesteryear. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=va1rzP2xIx4

Christmas lights make the darkness of winter a lot more bearable and we should all keep them up until Valentine's Day at least.

If Christmas would stay in its lane and stop taking over additional months it would be fine and a lot fewer people would be burned out on its bullshit.

Christmas lights rock, but also, I wanna know which Hallmark movie town forces you to put up decorations or else. I don’t think I’ve ever put up decorations. Regardless Christmas is in january as everyone knows, so there’s plenty of time yet to get some cheap lights or a little novelty tree for the window

My local grocery store put the Christmas decorations up on Halloween night and it's the closest I've ever come to demanding to speak to the manager.

I put up a single string of white lights in my front window than fill my apartment with lights. Well not this year, it's too bad of a year to have Christmas.

I don't want to see or hear a single thing about Christmas until Black Friday at the earliest. Walmart putting up their Christmas poo poo in September is absolutely ridiculous and it needs to stop.

My old town requires Christmas lights and they just banned dancing. The place I live now is better, they have this huge harvest festival and I saw someone building a...I guess it's a statue out of wicker. I don't really understand all the local traditions but thankfully a friendly crowd has just shown up, I assume to explain it all to

My mom loves Christmas so much that one tree is no longer enough, so she puts up several throughout her house every year. I used to be a little embarrassed by it, her house looks like a Hallmark showroom on steroids every year. It makes her really happy and that's awesome. But as we get older I realize that we don't have that many Christmases left together and when that time comes I'm going to miss my moms crazy Christmas house

F_Shit_Fitzgerald posted:* I think we can all agree that Christmas Shoes is the worst song ever created, though. In terms of schmaltz, sure. But holy poo poo there are so many bad Christmas songs. “Ding-A-Ling the Christmas Bell”? “Santa’s Comin’ in a Whirly Bird”? “Santa’s Got A Choi-Choo Train”?

Those are made up loving songs. As bad as the UK is for lovely music I refuse to believe those are real songs.

Yeah, it's really just that I hate Christmas music. Even the good songs wore out their welcome decades ago, and the bad ones keep getting more covers where the singers compete on how horribly they can stretch single-stanza gimmick songs into 5 minute warbling bullshit.

Less about the holiday itself & more about the commercialization bullshit along with "expectations" of certain types of people. Plus Christmas music sucks & like others have said, I'm tired of seeing holiday crap in stores before Halloween even hits. Don't even get me started on the loving annoying charity commercials every 5 minutes either. If I could ad block that garbage & never hear Sarah McLachlan again I'd be in heaven.

No. These are not songs they are crimes.
