The thing is, all of these points sound perfectly reasonable to me. You're not a humbug, you're a person with a right to feel how you feel, and SOD cultural imperatives. I'm generally unfussed about xmas, but what brings on the rage is people telling me how I ought behave, think and feel, and shoving it in my face for a whole month. Fuck right off.
No advice for any of these points except the NYE one: sod going out and gather a small group in somebody's gaff for a booze-a-thone/ mashup/ whatever your poison is. Much cheaper and more fun.
I tried this one year and half the people I invited didn't turn up and the rest turned up but looked grumpy about having to travel all the way across London and back on a day when they'd been to work so I drank all the mulled wine before anyone even turned up and then threw a pointless strop about nothing.
The single shaming that goes on at Christmas is fucking awful. Stop telling me to be with the people I love, there fucking well aren't any! The only reason I can tolerate Christmas is because my mother is also bitter, single, but unlike me, she's well off enough that we can just hide indoors and eat for the entire holiday period.
I used to quite enjoy Christmas, but the fact it now starts in September means by mid December when I used to start to think about it, I'm sick to death of it.
And you forgot 16. Listening to workmates moan about how much they spent when the bills start coming in January.
