Xmas sucks
Nothing says “I don’t really give a fuck about you” like a Christmas card that comes out of a box of twenty identical Christmas cards. Far worse is an ironic facebook status: “From Home to home, and heart to heart, from one place to another. The warmth and joy of Christmas, brings us closer to each other.” Being a man who suffers of fertility problems I especially hate those cutesy family Christmas cards with the whole family posing on the front: “Look at us, we’re breeding like bunnies while you can’t get your wife pregnant”
At our house, we have the same artificial tree we’ve had since I was a baby. And these days, you can buy an artificial tree that looks exactly like a real one. So why buy a real one? For the pine scent? (Go out and sniff a pine cone, asshole.) For the joy of vacuuming pine needles off the rug every day? What?? I don’t get it. And then, after New Year’s Day, you see the most depressing thing ever: all the dead, rejected trees sitting out on the sidewalk, waiting to be taken to the dump. Mutilate a living thing, take it home, hang shit on it, then kick it to the curb.
People think of Santa Claus as jolly good fat fellow. In reality, he’s a prejudiced pedophile, bent on world domination. He sets a bad example the world over and promotes consumerism, communism, capitalism and obesity. He uses chimney to get to kids rooms secretly to give them candies, gifts and god knows what. Exactly the kind of creepy old man, my mom used to warn me about.
Christmas carols really annoy me. Song lyrics such as “he’s making a list, he’s checking it twice, he’s gonna find out who’s naughty and nice…” , sound like Nazi chants to me. And these are songs which children sing every day. Our children are growing up to be Hitler jugend. No wonder the right wing conservatism is repeatedly rising all over the western world.
Christmas presents are obvious proof of the racist nature of Christmas. You know how the “nice” little boys and girls will get presents at Christmas. Well, surprise, surprise, the nice ones are always the better-off ones. The richest 10% get 90% of the gifts, while the slum kids get to eat dust instead of turkey. This is yet another twisted message to the kids, representing western life-style and consumerism as good and eastern life-style and spiritual values as evil.
Even from an adult perspective the whole giving-and-getting thing is sick. When you exchange gifts with someone, you feel bad if the gift you gave them is cheaper than the gift they gave you, you also feel bad if it’s the reverse. “You don’t have to get me anything. Just as long as we can spend Christmas together.” This, let me tell you, is horseshit.
