Christmas has been and always will be my least favorite holiday. It costs way too much, takes too much time to plan, and it isn't even a Christian holiday anymore. Everything about the holiday bothers me, and I wish I could skip it. Many people tell me that I am a real-life Grinch, so if you're anything like me, you'll be able to relate to these 9 things.
1. You instantly turn off Christmas music when you hear it.
Something about the catchy, cheery songs just put me in a sour mood. I really don't understand how it's the happiest time of the year either because everyone is stressed and broke.
2. You avoid Christmas parties.
Why go? You're just going to be a Debbie downer and there are decorations everywhere.
3. You've never worn a Christmas sweater.
On top of the fact that they're ugly, why waste your money on something that you can only wear once a year?
4. You turn off Christmas movies as soon as they come on.
I can only deal with so many predictable endings. Not everyone ends up with the love of their life after a week of knowing them. They're just too unrealistic.
5. You never get around to decorating.
Why bother? I don't want to be reminded of the year.
6. You don't buy gifts until Christmas Eve.
Granted everything is pretty much gone, so you have to stick to gift cards, but you never get into the Christmas spirit; it makes it slip your mind.
7. Roll your eyes when you see Santa.
8. You shutter when walk through stores seeing all the decorations.
Take 'em down. There are too many, and they keep starting earlier and earlier. Stop it. Let each holiday have their time.
9. It annoys you that Christmas seems to be starting earlier and earlier each year.
I saw Christmas decorations going up and being put in stores before Halloween. People were even putting up Christmas trees before Thanksgiving. Uhhh... did we forget when Christmas actually is?
