This is such a sore subject in my house.. well it was anyway... I am very non materialistic.. I've had tons of shit and lost it all several times in life.. I absolutely refuse to buy Christmas gifts. Refuse to. I love buying gifts... love it... I buy people shit all the time... BUT I don't pack it in my attic for 3 or 4 months waiting until some magical day appears... the magical day was when I bought it... I was thinking of them at that moment... so I've eliminated the cheapskate factor... the next reason I refuse to buy gifts is because its expected... really? Expected? So I'm supposed to buy my girlfriends sister a thoughtful gift for a fake birthday??? Fuck that shit.. her sister is a bitch.. I wouldn't buy her a fire extinguisher if her house was on fire.. but did I ? of course... my gf loves Christmas.. loves that shit like Will Ferrell in Elf... Do I have stockings hung by the chimney with care?
FML... yes I do...
do I have a 10 foot tall tree in my living room that sacrificed its life for 2 weeks of adoration only to be discarded afterwards like a aborted fetus?
FUCK me to tears... yes I do...
why? Why? Why would I subject myself to this torture.. compromise... contrary to popular belief... it isn't all about me... it's learning to be a team player even when it's a shitty play...
I still didn't go spend hours in the mall... not even 1 visit to Wal-Mart did I make... did I pay for a lot of presents... you bet your ass I did. Did I go spend 3 hours at her sisters house last night? Yeah. I did.
Do I hate the commercialism of a fake if not satanic holiday.. yeah.. I start hating it on Black Friday... I'd rather slam my erect penis in a car door than be out wasting perfectly good money on BS...
Compromise and tolerance.... my Christmas presents...
Oh the joy.
The real present. Today's it. It's Showtime... I could bitch about money but it's already gone.. I could bitch about the reason but only the cat will listen.. So I'm gonna suck it up and put on a happy face ...
Yeah that's my happy face...
I guess the rants over .. her sister will be here soon and I definitely need to be high AF for that... plus I gotta see the doctor about this broken penis...
Peace out y'all and Merry Christmas. Dave
Hahaha. I love your view of Christmas. I hope the day is not to dreadful for you. Enjoy time with gf. And yes definitely see doctor about broken penis no one has fun then. lol

Damn that is funny! I am with you brother.
In my view, a gift should be given without any expectations of getting something in return. Who needs a holiday based on the first big grand lie we were ever told, just to feel guilty about gift giving? Makes no sense. And Im sure everyones sister or boyfriends girlfriend gets enough shit anyway!
I feel better now! Your rant was a nice gift!
Peace and Happy Hoildays

Very well put! Not only did I have to put up an artificial tree made out of petroleum product (oil) but I also am expected to buy petroleum products (plastic) for people that no one will use longer than a few weeks. I fought these expectations right till the end and I didn't end up buying a single present this year for anyone. I did give all my family steem for Xmas because it is actually worth something and, hopefully, will grow in value as time goes on.

You nailed it haha - I've been trying to be low key about my X-mas opinions, but this is a good summary... I guess I'll try to remain low key until I can break it down in an animation that's more funny than complain-y. I try not to demolish everyone's fun, but the roots of X-mas isn't Christ, it was known as Saturnalia until a pervert in a pointy hat (Pope Julius) magically proclaimed it to be the birth of Christ (in order to draw more pagans under his authority). Yes, it was a marketing ploy more or less. Add enough gifts and candy and you can get the whole world on board lolz...
I've spent exactly zero this season on gifts, etc., but in a few weeks I'm flying back east to visit family, so that's a financial pressure equal to or greater than gift buying... :-r
Dang I'm not even supposed to be on here today, but I just HAD to chime in.
Have a good one or at least don't let holiday drama drive ya nutz.
PS I'll upvote you later, I gotta let my VP recover to 100 again
