Well, you can avoid the buying if you simply don't participate, but the songs! You can't run from the songs!!
The majority of Americans I know fucking hate Christmas. It's the most stressful time of the year.
I like the wintery aspect of it, along with the food and stuff...but that's about it. I get insanely irritated when people say shit like, "Christmas is the time of year to help your fellow man" and bullshit like that. Why? Why can't we be helpful to each other EVERY DAY, not just once a year?
I like all the lights and snow and seasonal stuff...but the music has seriously got to go. I don't like to receive gifts anymore, not even on my birthday because I don't like people doing other things for me simply out of tradition. I'm a weird one, I know.
Plus, unless it's a new guitar, amp, record deal, computer, or things of the like, I'd rather get them when I want and not have to wait once a fucking year. I hated that shit as a kid. Finally, my Mom listened to me one time and bought me something that I wanted really badly quite early. I told her that I wouldn't ask for anything for Xmas if she got me that, and she did and I didn't ask for anything. Ok, she got me a few stocking stuffers like a new cd, some candy, and some winter socks for hunting or some shit like that, but that was it and I was happy. I finally got it across to her that I don't give a shit about Christmas presents...if I want something, I'm going to buy it and not make a big fucking deal out of it. Anyone else agree?
Would be a good plan, except, have you ever seen a man in a police uniform walking around listening to his iPod?use earphones and listen to metal. loud
Seriously though... do you really think people are going to treat others the way they do around the holidays throughout the entire year? No, it won't happen. Without the holidays, people probably wouldn't even consider being helpful to others anymore than they are during non-holiday times. I'm not sure how I feel about that.The majority of Americans I know fucking hate Christmas. It's the most stressful time of the year.

Christmas is even better when you only receive presents and don't give them out. PROBLEM SOLVED
