Put Your Hand Up If You Hate Christmas!

Am i the only person who dislikes Christmas more every year?
Not only do the shops over-load with rubbish that people get over-hyped about and subsequently forget about in February the next year.
Christmas is an all-round phenomenon now, it begins on December the 26th and ends on December the 25th, like a more celebrated tax year. The only difference being is people look forward to Christmas, i do not know anyone that looks forward to April 5th.
It is an unnecessary reason to throw relatives that do not get on into situations that they all feel uncomfortable in. I do not get on with one of my sisters, yet every year i am compelled by the spirit of the holiday to talk to her for hours on end about her year, and why we are no longer in touch. Because you work for the Conservative Party Campaign. That's why.
I am also compelled to spend substantial amounts of money on gifts for people i never see, and do not really like. Nephew's who cause their parents no end of trouble, and Nieces that insist on having the latest make-up to go with their new fashionable shell-suits or whatever youngsters are wearing these days.
The Coca-Cola advert that brings happiness to many lives is a thorn in my side. In makes me physically ache when i hear the sleigh-bells.
If only reindeer suffered from some sort of 'Mad Cow's Disease' that left them unable to fly around the world, then the holidays would be one worth looking forward to.
The only thing i look forward to this Christmas is the prospect of Rick Wakeman paraphernalia.
