fucking loathe this one.

fucking loathe this one. It's always associated in my head with judgement - because those who "celebrate" it are -ever- so fucking judgemental about performing the ritual of the day "correctly".

It -must- be "merry christmas" and no other greeting is acceptable. Giving people money is barely acceptable, and means you didn't "care enough" to find them a "good" gift. As a kid, I had to perform gratitude well enough to appease the adults, but gods forbid I should show genuine joy because that would be "too loud" and "misbehaving" and result in punishment.

And don't even fucking get me started on the judgemental horseshit involved with the "real" xtians looking down on the "CAPE" ones.

Fuck all that shit. Take your fucking monotheistic holiday and all the judgement and other horseshit that comes with it, roll it into a tight cylinder, and shove it someplace your proctologist will find uncomfortable and inconvenient.

@munin regimented xmas celebrators are the weirdest. it reminds me of the 50s keeping up appearances era of repression.

the holidays are an excuse to eat crap and watch cheesy movies, and hang out with folks since we all have some time off work. beyond that, fuck the lot of it.
